No, just remove the feature and run your aggregation or request whatever was blocked before but looks like you figured that out!

Has anyone else who opened a case with support heard any updates on a possible cause for this issue?

No updates on my case, I’m still waiting. I specifically asked them about the PREFER\_UUID flag, they said Engineering has not provided any information about this.

Support has disabled a feature flag on our system and the issue seems to be fixed. I asked for details and this was the response, I don’t have access to the link so am requesting additional details.

Hello Carmen,

The Feature Flag name is: [GOV\_IDNARSENAL\_USE\_UUID\_DURING\_LINK\_LOOKUP](https://app.launchdarkly.com/idn/production/features/GOV_IDNARSENAL_USE_UUID_DURING_LINK_LOOKUP)  
Disabled around 8:15 AM, November 8, 2023.

I had a call with support this morning and they told me that turning off the feature flag you mentioned is different than removing the PREFER\_UUID feature from the source config that I did.

Here are the additional details they sent me:

“GOV\_IDNARSENAL\_USE\_UUID\_DURING\_LINK\_LOOKUP”  
This is an independent flag that when enabled the backend changes to use the uuid BEFORE the native\_identifier when present.
