I propose adding functionality to the insert/update row contextual menu to allow generating random UUIDs for column values with the UUID type. This UI pattern is already present with e.g. timestampz:
We could add a edit icon in the same style conditional on the type of column being uuid and allow generating a random UUID to fill in the field. Happy to implement this myself if you guys approve of this request, btw :)
Mohammad Rafiq suggests adding a feature to the dashboard's insert/update row menu to generate random UUIDs for UUID columns, similar to the existing functionality for timestampz. He offers to implement this feature if approved. Muliira Ham Ibrahim responds by explaining that specifying a column type as random UUID already sets it as default when entering a row, questioning how the proposed feature differs.
