My own creations, No Modify?

So I have things that list me as the creator, and that I give full permission to (copy/mod/trans), but when I take a copy, it shows in my inventory as no modify, and when I click edit on the copy, it says "creator unknown". It doesn't do this for everything, just some things. Am I missing something here, is there a reason it would be expected to do this? I want copies of my own things that I take to have the same permission as the original.

The most likely problem is that it has scripts inside it. If so, you need to set the permissions on the scripts separately.

That is the case. So if I'm understanding right, I need to set the script permission on the script itself BEFORE I transfer it to the item. I'll go try it out, and if that's right, it should solve my problem. Thank you.

Edit: Okay, so I take all the scripts out and take a copy, and it has full permission. I change the script permissions and put it back in, take a copy, and it says no modify in my inventory. However, when I rez it on the ground, I can modify it, and it just says no transfer. My concern is if I sell something to people that says it has modify permission, I don't want to be lying to them. So I'm guessing even though it says no mod in the inventory, rezzing it will still let them mod it?

If it says "no modify" in your inventory, then something inside it is set to no mod. Is there anything else inside the object: notecards, other objects? Anything that is inside the object, has its own permissions and can cause the "no modify" message to show.

But in the larger sense, it might not be a bad thing. For example, if you wanted to sell the object mod/copy, but you didn't want the script to be changeable, then you can't avoid having the "no modify" flag show up in inventory. The flag shows up if anything in the object is no mod. But in this case, you would still be able to modify the object itself since it is set to mod, but not the script because it is no-mod.

The easiest way to be confident that it is working correctly is to create an alt and give a copy to the alt.

^That does seem to be what's going on. I have scripts in there set to no copy/no mod, but it appears the object itself can actually be modified, and just has the tag in inventory. Which is exactly what I want, as I don't want people viewing/breaking the scripts. Thanks so much for your help.
