Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.

you need to consider the string may contain multiple commas in the "Name" value, so the "split" will be affected by this
"Type: Process Model, Name: [en_GB=, en_US=PM Test, es=], Id:5946, ...."
agreed, for this I would just go ahead and use the extract() function.
index(extract( local!details, "Id:", ", UUID" ), 1, null())
On that note, here is the expression rule I've developed that will take the output of this expression and split it up into a usable dictionary (i'm unclear why the plugin itself didn't just go ahead and do that, but I digress) --
a!localVariables( local!rawText: if( rule!GCO_RULE_General_isBlank(ri!uuid), " ", getprocessmodeldetailsbyuuid(ri!uuid) ), local!type: index(extract(local!rawText, "Type: ", "," ), 1, null()), local!nameList: trim( split( extract( local!rawText, "Name: [", "]" ), "," )), local!nameArray: a!forEach( local!nameList, a!localVariables( local!pieces: split(fv!item, "="), a!map( locale: local!pieces[1], name: local!pieces[2] ) ) ), local!id: index(extract( local!rawText, "Id:", ", UUID" ), 1, null()), local!uuid: index(extract( local!rawText, "UUID:", ", Creator" ), 1, null()), local!creator: index(extract( local!rawText, "Creator: ", ", Last" ), 1, null()), local!lastModifiedBy: index(extract( local!rawText, "Last Modified by: ", ", Parent"), 1, null()), local!parent: index(extract( local!rawText, "Parent: ", ", Parent Id:" ), 1, null()), local!parentId: tointeger( index(extract( local!rawText, "Parent Id: ", "," ), 1, null())), local!location: index(extract( local!rawText, "Location: ", ", Is" ), 1, null()), local!isPublic: index(extract( local!rawText, "IsPublic: ", ", Created" ) = "true", 1, null()), local!createdOn: index(extract( local!rawText, "Created on: ", ", Last" ), 1, null()), local!lastModifiedOn: index(extract( local!rawText, "Last Modified on: ", ", Number of" ), 1, null()), local!numVersions: index(extract(local!rawText & "-END-", "Number of Versions: ", "-END-" ), 1, null()), a!map( type: local!type, primaryName: property(index(local!nameArray, 1, null()), "name", null()), nameArray: local!nameArray, id: local!id, uuid: local!uuid, creator: local!creator, lastModifiedBy: local!lastModifiedBy, parent: local!parent, parentId: local!parentId, location: local!location, isPublic: local!isPublic, createdOn: todatetime(local!createdOn), lastModifiedOn: todatetime(local!lastModifiedOn), numVersions: local!numVersions, /*rawText: local!rawText*/ ) ) /* developed by: Mike Schmitt */
