Hi there,

My curiosity was too high to not test the Uuid function of Formcalc as its result doesn't look like a unique id to be generated and considered unique!!

I've made a small test with 1000 samples of this function to see if there could be a leak with duplicates.. There was no duplicate in that case..

But to make sure I've made a test with 100,000 samples and actually found duplicates more than once, as you said at least extremely like a unique id but it still can create duplicates unfortunately

I've also noticed that it is not rotating through time, which would create a unique id depending on the milliseconds in a second or minutes/hours, it can create duplicates whenever but in a small margin of error as I had 8 duplicates in 100,000 samples and the duplicates were starting to be generated more and more frequently...

I don't think a form would be used over 10,000 times to have that many unique ids, but I don't think using this method is good idea, because it could generate a duplicate at any time...
