Issue: rs.MatchObjectAttributes() makes objects dissapear

[timcastelijn]

Hi @dale,

I am running into the same issue in other parts of my code.

@dale

Because the object is replaced, you’ll (probably) need to reselect the new reference

I interpret this line:

        if scriptcontext.doc.Objects.ModifyAttributes(id, source_attr, True):

in the definition of rs.MatchObjectAttributes() in object.py as if the objects’ Attributes should be modified, rather than returning a new reference. Also the documentation doesn’t mention that another reference is created.

I have a workaround now, but I still think rs.MatchObjectAttributes() shows unintended behavior. Could you have another look at it? I have another isolated example that demonstrates the unintended behavior if that helps.

Thanks,
Tim
