Ask your questions Hi folks.

i am trying to use uuid for edge name by using underscore instead of dash. but one of the edge is failing for no obvious reason to me

I have this grahp

I dont understand why that edge is failing. the name is a uuid based name.

(Optional) Expected behavior i was expecting using uuid names with underscore would be fine

(Optional) ELK Version snapshot

(Optional) Additional context

All identifiers have to start with a letter not a number. This is a limitation of the elkt language. If you still want to use your uuids, I suggest simply adding an "n" for nodes and an "e" for edges at the beginning.
