The GUID field has always (since its invention) been automatically populated ON SUBMIT - that is when all workflow has fired and the record is being written to the database - much like field 1.
If you need it ahead of that (in filters or ALs) then you need to populate it.

For lower versions you need to use a run process as you have been doing. Sounds like there's either a documentation bug or you're looking at a newer help file.

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.
