Creating two prefabs with the same ID

[Damian Abalo]

Hello.

I have noticed that you can create two prefabs with the same ID by following this procedure:

• Have a prefab and an instance of this prefab
• Copy the instance (optionally you can do some modifications before doing so, to easily differentiate them)
• Use this instance to create a new prefab, without deleting the old one

Doing this steps you will have two prefabs with the same ID, which leads to some pretty nasty situations, overwriting the two prefabs while you only wanted to apply to one.

You can easily work this once you notice, but it caught me by suprise the first time, so it should be fixed

Best regards

How are you creating the new prefab? Are you dragging the new instance into the project? It should generate a new ID.

[Damian Abalo]

yes, after copy pasting the instance.

Just repeated this process and it doesn´t really happen anymore. I don´t know if the issue was exclusive to a previous update, or if it only happens in certain conditions. I will report back if I see it again.
