• random_id implementation.
  • Should it be another attribute provider implementation, or modify the existing builtin custom data provider?
  • The latter was decided upon.
• Create task for nodes that we want to rename later (verb first naming).
• “String Replace” name
  • Replace Substring
  • Replace String <—
