Feature request: Allow to assign a custom uuid when creating document/folder via REST API #325
Description
Would be great to be able to define custom document/folder id when sending POST request to /api/nodes.
Example request body:
{
"id": "9f3221e4-5a4c-4861-94ff-5cac9767c1da",
"title": "My Folder",
"ctype": "folder",
"parent_id": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"
}This was possible in version 2.1.9 and it is not possible anymore since version 3.x

@anybody84 why would you need a custom uuid? Just trying to understand the use case for it.

@ciur, I use
papermergeas a part of some bigger app. Currently,papermergedoes not support custom metatada for documents, so I store it in a separate database (mongodb). For that reason I'd like to keep unifiedidacross both "systems", but themongodbrecord comes first and then, theidcannot be changed anymore.ciur commentedon Feb 21, 2024
