2 separate objects have the same GUID?

I have 2 separate objects but they both have the same GUID somehow which is making migrating a nightmare. Is there any fix for this besides doing a save-as so the guid changes?

Thanks

I think this might be already actually the quickest solution.
You could also convert it the gsm to XML and then change the GUID by yourself...

Easier solution in 2.5 steps:

Step 1: Select one object of your liking and open it in the GDL Editor

Step 2: Save it in any location of your liking (saving it in the same place with the same name will just do it)

Step 2.5: Make sure to click on "Create New Library Part" as seen in the picture below.
