Michael Brohl commented on OFBIZ-8343:
--------------------------------------

I said that it could be a useful enhancement but I also said that it must be 
discussed and that the impact for existing OFBiz installations have to be 
considered.

Scott raised some valid concerns and it's always valid to change one's mind 
when there are good arguments.
Scott suggested a solution for people in need of larger field lengths so this 
is not a real issue.

The uuid idea is good and I support it. But Scott's concerns are right, we 
don't need it overall so I'd suggest to come up with a solution which considers 
the raised issues.

> these fields to accept GUIIDs the length should be increased to 32 characters.
