<p>Hi Steven,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yes, the id is randomly generated since there is a need to have the ability to associated containers to their possible children ( by way of a @id and @parent_id ). The problem is that when creating the container node, currently it's not known if a child
container is on the way, so the @id has to be made just in case. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Is it a large blocker for you? </p>
<p>b,chris. <br>

<div>I was just doing some tests on exporting EAD ( AS v1.1.1 ) and I noticed </div>
<div>that the container ids change on every export:</div>

<div style="margin:0px">I see that the c02/@id stays the same and is the value of the archival_object’s ref_id ( with “aspace_” prefix added ). </div>
<div style="margin:0px">If the container ids are not stored in ArchivesSpace and are generated differently on the fly for export, </div>
<div style="margin:0px">it would be better to just not add an id attribute. </div>
