CloudEntity.setId("...") doesn't work

Using the above statement doesn't create an entity with the given ID. Instead, it just generates a random one.

Hi. From what I've seen I think it does instantiate the CloudEntity with your requested ID, but when you then go do something with it e.g. insert it into the Backend, the Backend will create a new unique ID for the Entity which is random and is then returned to you by updating your CloudEntity on your client-side. I don't think you can force the creation of an ID like that. You can use setID to update an CloudEntity on the client-side, which is why it is useful i.e. for updating not for inserting.
