Bilgin, thanks for the quick reply. I raised a JIRA issue for it, and think it is of priority critical. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3480 thanks, Babu.

The PK field in party creation service is validated for special characters and so on. So the user is actually allowed to try with random text. I think this field is simply missing in the UI. That's why you are not "allowed" to enter the id. > thanks, > Babu. > In addition to this, ofbiz display Ids in most of the forms ( and all the lookup fields). So it is very important to allow users to enter meaningful Ids, especially for data that it used for long period like partyId, facailityId, fixedAssetId, agreementId... So create forms should have an optional Id field (partyId, facilityId...) with a label saying that if an Id is not specified, the system will generate one. What do the others think about that?
