We don't support guid IDs for schemas that LS creates in V1.

Answer 2

Hi Andre,

Changing the name of the ID property is also not supported in V1.

If you really think it should be able to be changed, maybe post a suggestion on the Connect website (note you'll need to be logged into the site):

Then, update this post with a link so people reading it can go & vote on it if they agree with you.

I believe that this has been addressed in the RTM release (which I haven't seen yet, but it's SO close I can almost touch it, lol).
