Cognito Generating UUID V7 instead of UUID V4

Question

Cognito Generating for new users, UUID V7 instead of UUID V4, that is supposed to be default.
I could not find where to change it in order to generate as UUID V4.

Answer

Cognito is responsible for generating an arbitrary unique string for the `sub` for its user pool.  You can't control (or make assumptions) about the format.  From https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-settings-attributes.html#cognito-user-pools-standard-attributes

> **sub**
>
> The `sub` attribute is a unique user identifier within each user pool.
