Potentially you could write an active link on say lose focus of a field to call $PROCESS$ @@:Application-Generate-GUID and set the output to a field on the form This way you will have the GUID created. Now when you save / submit the request then an entry will be created in database.
This way you can have the GUID created even before a entry is created at the database level hope that helps Regards, Abhijeet The opinions, statements, and/or suggested courses of action expressed in this E-mail do not necessarily reflect those of BMC Software, Inc.

It's been awhile since I've done this, I've build a GUID field (ID 179) on a request form.. it's my understanding that this would make the GUID available prior to submitting the ticket, however that doesnt seem to be the case. Am I missing something? the Remedy helpfile defines GUID Fields as: "To auto-populate a field with a GUID, define a character field using field ID 179. A GUID is available during active link processing on the client and through all filter phases. By contrast, the value of Request ID field is not available until an entry has been successfully committed to the database. You can set the attributes of the GUID field, except for field type, length, and ID. " This suggests to me that it should be available from a new form. However the only way I can get it is to generate it with a $PROCESS$ @@:Application-Generate-GUID. Could someone enlighten me? -- Warren R.
