Notion: How To Create Unique IDs For Database Pages/Items

Sample Formulas:
- Prefix with text: "SB_ID-" + id()
- Prefix with date:
- A date property is needed, example “Created time”
- formatDate(prop("Created time"), "YYYY_MM_DD-HH_mm-")
- Remove 1st 4 chars: substring(id(), 4)
- Keep 1st 4 chars (range): substring(id(), 0, 4)
- Keep last 4 chars: substring(id(), length(id())-4)
- Remove last 4 chars (range): substring(id(), 0, length(id())-4)

That's all good and all, but how do you get the created id to be the master id of the record, instead of the name property?
