When you create an object, put it back in your inventory and rerez it, does it retain its key or does it get assigned a new key?

It gets a new key

Yes and no. I believe that if it is a no-copy object, it retains its key, but otherwise, it doesn't.

I've heard this many times before, so I decided to finally do a little bit of testing. Final result: A 'no copy' object will not retain it's key, probably for good reason.

That's odd, it wont? A new copy is created, and the old one deleted?

Yes, the key is changed when the object is taken into inventory and re-rezed into the world. With notecards, the key is changed anytime you type new text into the notecard and save it. This means that if you want to create a server prim to which objects worldwide will communicate via email.... you can't de-rez/re-rez that server prim without losing communications! And if you want many worldwide objects to give a certain, updateable notecard, the process can be difficult.

This is why I've requested a feature that would allow us to rent a certain, fixed set of keys which we could assign to prims of our choosing as needed. And, I'm sure it's possible to work around this issue using XML-RPC functions, but if I've overlooked an in-world method, please clue me in.
