Thanks, that works!
(I do wonder what the chance of collision is though... looks low, but still...)

Hi Magnus,

Yes, you can create your own statement GUIDs. They are, in essence, nothing but the entity ID and a random number.

$guid = $entityId->getSerialization() . '$' . trim( com_create_guid(), '{}' );

I hope that helps. Sorry, no guarantee, Editing via action=wbeditentity should always work, but you will probably run into the same issue.

Best
Thiemo
