Text Value
A text value of type string is required. The string must be in the form "HHHHHHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHH-HHHHHHHHHHHH" where H represents a hexadecimal digit between 0 and F.
Remarks
For the ExtendedAttribute element, Guid is the custom field GUID.
For the OutlineCode element, Guid is the outline code GUID. Local outline codes and enterprise custom fields and require the Guid element; local custom fields do not.
