Description

It seems to me that the correct behaviour here is to compute a distinct uuid for each feature.

A work around is to define a custom function like this

@from qgis.core import *
from qgis.gui import *
import uuid

@qgsfunction(args='auto', group='Custom')
def getUUID(feature, parent):

return '{' + str(uuid.uuid4()) + '}'@
