What is your use case for this? If you don’t want it to auto-generate, then don’t use the PrimaryGeneratedColumn. If you manually set this id, the auto-increment could break on future entities that try to auto-generate an id with that value. I think it would be easier to have a separate field for the cases where you want to override the value.
