> > Hey Rob, What I meant was - the component contains only one fiel - that *isn't* a KeyPath - since it uses a CompanionFile. Therefore, I was suggesting that autogenerated guids be allowed for such cases since the uniqueness is still intact as long as the companionFile follows the rules required for auto generated guids.
