GUID Generation in Expression

[pshashipreetham]

Hi, 

Is it possible to generate a GUID in the Expression?, I remember seeing it long back in a Project, not sure what the correct syntax is to do it. 

In my stiuation I am tring to avoid the service. 

Thingworx: 9.4

Thanks,

Hey,

self.crypto.randomUUID()

...and ignore the warning about unsupported object.

Note that it only works when your ThingWorx is served over HTTPS or from localhost.

Hi Shashi,

I just gave this a try using the line noted by @Constantine and this worked as expected in ThingWorx Platform 9.5. 

Could you please give us some more information on what (if any) messages you are getting in the console when attempting to execute this Expression? On that note, could you also let me know how you are ensuring the Expression is being fired? In my test, I fired it by clicking a button and associated the output with a label:

output = self.crypto.randomUUID();
