Additional Information

The expressions are always run prior to the form loading and again on submit. In each execution, the expression returns a different GUID each time thus it ends up in an infinite loop. Use an expression similar to this: if (IsEmpty($feature.ASSET_ID)){ return guid(); } else { return $feature.ASSET_ID; }

Workaround

Use the following expression: if (IsEmpty($feature.ASSET_ID)){ return guid(); } else { return $feature.ASSET_ID; }
