Is there any danger in changing the RhinoObject Id?

I’ve got some code that works nicely that a Developer wrote, in it, they change the objects ID to that of an old Rhino Object. Are there any dangers to this? It seems like a bad idea to me but I want to ensure that I ask before changing it. I was actually quite surprised I could change it.

Hi @csykes,

I’m not sure why that property has a setter - probably shouldn’t.

I can’t imagine why you’d ever want to change it.

In case we remove this, you might avoid using it.

Thanks @dale, I’m amazed I only just noticed it. Yeah we’ll certainly be getting rid of it. I’m uncertain what kinds of knock on effects this can cause.
