Hi, I am trying to use loadData in a changeset that loads from a csv file.  For one column I want to use Oracles SYS\_GUID() function to get the value. I have tried various ways to get it to work but it either ends up putting the literal “SYS\_GUID()” string as the value or missing the closing parentheses. I think the way I should do it is have the column defined as “NUMERIC” and not add quites for the value (…,SYS\_GUID(),…) but when I do, the sql generated for the value is missing the right parentheses like: …, SYS\_GUID(, … Anyone have an idea of how I could do this? Thanks. ---

change column definition to DEFAULT SYS\_GUID() and do not import the column from the csv file
