             Summary:  External ID is missing for groups and centers
                 Key: FINERACT-2692
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2692
             Project: Apache Fineract
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Groups
            Reporter: Foo Developer
         Attachments: image-2026-07-16-15-26-45-030.png, image-2026-07-16-15-28-01-330.png

When creating a new Group or Center, the External ID field is optional and can be provided manually. However, when the External ID is left null, the system should automatically generate a unique External ID.

*Expected Behavior:*
If the External ID is not provided during creation, the system should generate a unique value automatically before saving the Group or Center.

*Actual Behavior:*
When the External ID is left null, the system does not generate a value automatically.
