A single string containing several UUIDs separated by a plus sign or comma. This would allow me to create a small group of nodes using UUIDs for use on a featured slideshow View.

I want to use UUIDs instead of NIDs because the nodes will be the same between our staging and production systems. Using NIDs as a View argument already has the ability I am requesting.

I know Views arguments are currently relegated to the dev version. I think this feature should be available before it is placed into the main branch.

Title: Add support for View Arguments to "Allow multiple terms per argument." » Add support for View Arguments to "Allow multiple values"
Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 7.x-1.x-dev

I think this is a Views bug - see #1417400: Various characters (UTF-8 characters, dashes, and symbols) cause views_break_phrase_string() not to work. That's because UUIDs contain dashes in them, but the "Allow multiple values" option in Views can't handle those.

Perhaps it's worth keeping this issue open for a bit though, in case it turns out that Views isn't able to fix the bug for some reason (and then maybe the UUID module can implement some kind of workaround).
