Yes, I stumbled on this as well. I ended up saving the GUID on the object and using that in my selections.

It's really strange that this is not working (or no longer). You can always add another attribute and use the comm.commons getGUID action to set it.

I suggest upvoting this idea

and else, there's always java

yes

retrieve from database

using a hardcoded string

[id = ‘1234567’]

or using a variable

[id = $Variable]

Create a Java action to do that for you.

The Java code is really simple:

return Core.retrieveId(getContext(), Core.createMendixIdentifier(guidParm));
