Business value
We're adding support to load data into more Dataverse field types. These additions reduce the complexity of importing data into Dataverse tables while increasing the applicability of dataflows for importing data into Dataverse.
Feature details
The Unique Identifier field is a system column that stores a globally unique identifier (GUID) value for each row in any Dataverse table. It also functions as the Primary Key and is used when integrating data into Dataverse.
In the coming release wave, we plan to allow you to set the initial value of the unique identifier field and use it as the key for row update operations. This capability opens up multiple use cases (for example, syncing data across environments while maintaining record IDs) and reduces the complexity to integrate data into Dataverse by not requiring a key field to be created for dataflows to update the records in Dataverse.
