When he says "various google sheets" it sounds like new ones are occasionally created so you would have to do that each time a new one is created. It's extra friction which you can easily avoid.

But he’s putting a regex into the sheet? Unless he has some tool to look at the spreadsheets in gdrive and applies the regex to them? Guess we lack info from the OP.

The regex goes into their UUID generation routine, to stop it from ever generating another UUID with an E in the middle.
