Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I believe this is part of uuid views integration.
Currently, when you want to display let's say documents but only of a specific type, you add a filter to your view which can be "Content: Has taxonomy terms" and you specify which document types you want to allow in this view.
However, this is not portable: Content: Has taxonomy terms stores tids in its configuration, so if you export the view to a feature, and later import it to another site, chances are your tids will have changed. The best way to avoid this issue would be to have a filter such as "Content: Has taxonomy terms (UUID)" which would store the UUIDs and filter on the term UUIDs.
I would be interested in working on that, but would like to have the community's opinion on it first...

dixon_I would be positive to add better Views integration. But one needs to be a bit careful, since the UUID column is of the type
varchar, it makes it a lot slower to join on, etc.But again, it could be useful in some cases, if we just document the implications.

guillaumev CreditAttribution: guillaumev commentedOk here is a first patch, which adds a "Has Taxonomy Term (UUID)" filter. You will see that I had to add the uuid column to taxonomy_index.
Concerning your comment, the UUID column is of the type char, not varchar, so yes there are performance issues compared to using tids, but I don't think they are that important, at least for let's say 90 % of Drupal sites out there...

kristiaanvandeneyndeIs this issue still unresolved and, if so, could it be that the patch failed because it's doing too much? (hook_install, hook_uninstall, updte hook...)
