Bulk update with generator

Question : 

When a user performs a bulk update through the UI, they can add values to attributes that are driven by a sequence generator. However, when attempting the same action from the individual Profile edit page, they are unable to add values to the attribute. What could be the reason for this discrepancy?

Answer : 

In Reltio, attributes configured with an auto-generator (UUID or SEQUENTIAL) are not intended to be manually entered or overwritten within the Profile UI. These generator fields remain hidden during the creation process and become visible only after the record has been saved.

Explanation for why bulk updates function as expected: the engine adheres to the attribute’s generator flags. If your L3 includes autoGenerated: true along with generateIfEmpty: true and generateIfNotEmpty: false, then when a value is provided (for example, via bulk update), it is accepted as a standard attribute; the generator activates only when no value is supplied.
