The Advanced section of the Object and Diagram Properties hold the GUID of the item - so one can use the value to locate the item in the DB.
However, this is not the case for the Connectors.  Was the Connector GUID ever visible in the Connector Properties, either the window (preferably) or the dialog?

TIA,
Paolo

I don't think I've ever seen GUID for connectors via the UI.
Noting its the Project section for GUIDs on objects and Advanced section for a diagram.
I did notice that you can open a properties dialog for an object, go to the related links add fields called "ID" and "DestID" to the columns. Not 100% sure what ID field is exactly, I'm guessing its the connector ID rather than the start object ID.
Happy to help
:)

I agree with Sunshine, I don't think I've ever seen it in EA.

I always get it using the ID button on my EA Navigator add-in.
