Possible to maintain same calculated UUID within a repeat?

Is it possible to maintain a unique UUID within a repeat? I am trying to keep the same UUID within multiple repeat records. So far I've tried calculating a UUID outside of the repeat and then passing it to the repeat, but the UUID outside of the repeat changes each time a new repeat record is created. My only other solution to this is creating a concatenated "ticketnumber" in place of a UUID which is not ideal.

My general workflow is to create some related records with a UUID in Survey123, then concatenate a URL to open Collector and create a new polygon feature while also passing the UUID and survey123 calculations. The last step is to go back to Survey123 and submit the related records. Hope this makes sense.

Just discovered the once function....:

once()

If a question already has a value, returns the existing value. Useful when using random() or uuid() in a repeated question to ensure the value doesn't change when you browse through the repeat records in the form.

once(uuid())
