AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To generate a GUID in SuiteScript without using
createSecretKey
, you can use a custom function. Here's an example of how you can do it:
Copy code
javascript
function generateUUID() { // Public Domain/MIT
    var d = new Date().getTime();//Timestamp
    var d2 = (performance && performance.now && (performance.now()*1000)) || 0;//Time in microseconds since page-load or 0 if unsupported
    return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
        var r = Math.random() * 16;//random number between 0 and 16
        if(d > 0){//Use timestamp until depleted
            r = (d + r)%16 | 0;
            d = Math.floor(d/16);
        } else {//Use microseconds since page-load if supported
            r = (d2 + r)%16 | 0;
            d2 = Math.floor(d2/16);
        }
        return (c === 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8)).toString(16);
    });
}
This function generates a random UUID using the current time and a random number. It's important to note that while this function will generate a unique string most of the time, it's not guaranteed to always generate a unique string due to the nature of random number generation. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
