Hello, UUIDv7 is now supported in the recently released PostgreSQL 18. Is there any way to use it for IDs? ---

Directus-generated UUIDs use UUIDv4 by default, which is currently not configurable. I’ve jotted down your comment as a feature request on our end so we can track this for a potential future improvement. Thanks! ---

Hey all, v12 is not updated to UUIDv7, we have this as a potential future improvement in our backlog however I don’t have a committed timeline for this happening I can share currently I’m afraid. ---

I suppose it should also be visible on the roadmap ([roadmap.directus.com](http://roadmap.directus.com)). I can see the item when I search it, but I can’t open it. Anyone know why that is? This should be the roadmap item for uuidv7 support: [Directus feature requests | Productlane](https://roadmap.directus.com/request?id=f3bcae62-11d0-4fcd-a12c-6b6e8427f218) ---

Thanks for the heads up @jogchum. [It’s now](https://roadmap.directus.com/request?id=f3bcae62-11d0-4fcd-a12c-6b6e8427f218) available to be opened, it wasn’t before as it was categorized as a task rather than a feature which is why it was searchable but not listed.
