Is there a way to get the process model ID from its UUID?...

Is there a way to use the UUID with the "Start Process Model" smart service in 17.1? I can use the ID to start the process, but I'd rather use UUID, since ID differs per environment. (I want to set up constants to point to the processes that will be started, which differ per environment. Unfortunately, environmental constants can only be used on primitive types - hence my preference for using UUID over ID, since I can't use a Process Model type for this constant.)

getprocessmodeldetailsbyuuid returns a string that would need to be parsed to get the ID, which is not ideal. A more direct function to get just the ID would be best, or something that returns it in a dictionary instead of a string.

Any reason you don't create constants of type "Process Model", which are fine being exported/imported to different environments and can be used directly in the smart service?

I think what Eduardo suggested is correct and also I we can use the constant calling, but I do not think the constant of type process model can be created in <7.0 and below. for that you can use the reporting or the plugin concept and at the later versions you can directly use the PM constant and can use tointeger(cons!PM) will give you the PMID
