Issue changing type of Id from Guid to string

[Alexander Zeitler]

Hi,

 

I had documents having Guid Ids.

Then I changed the Ids to be type of string and did a clean/rebuild.

I deleted all old documents from the database collection (910).

After creating a new document, it’s Id is still a Guid.

 

Then I created a new database and tried to persist the new document there – the Id is still a Guid.

If I create a new type with a string based Id, everything works fine.

 

What am I doing wrong? (I know I can change the metadata, but do have to change the meta also for a new database created from scratch)?

Interesting behavior:

If the Id is NULL, it gets assigned a HiLo Id.

If the Id is String.Empty, it gets assigned a Guid Id.

Yes, that makes sense, that is the intended behavior.
