Change ID Manipulator

The Change ID Manipulator allows you to replace the ID of a content.

Properties

Property	Purpose	Required
changeId	The value to update the ID to. Options: - UUID - RAND:{integer} - {custom value}	True
changeIdLang	A comma separated list of language IDs to apply the changeId value to. If the option is not set, all languages will apply the same changeId value.	False

Specifics

This manipulator updates the content's ID allowing for a custom ID or completely new ID to be set. This is useful for systems that allow a custom ID when creating a content.

How to use

Set the changeId property to a one of the options available.

Options:

• UUID

  • generates a new UUID value

• RAND:{integer}

  • generates a random ID string from alphanumeric characters with the length of the {integer} value used

  • i.e., RAND:21 will generate a random ID with 21 alphanumeric characters

• {custom value}

  • sets the ID to the provided custom value

The fieldName option is not necessary for this manipulator. If using the UI a whitespace can be used for these values.
