Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

When inspecting object attributes this setting determines whether GUID attributes such as "objectGUID" are returned as binary objects or converted into a human readable string such as "708d9374-d64a-49b2-97ea-489ddc717703". When set to True a friendly string value is returned. When set to False (default) a base 64 encoded string of the binary object is returned.
