Question

Node Id is not unique

The docs say:

Every node has an id property, which is unique within the document. If the id is invalid, or the node cannot be found (e.g. removed), returns null.

But I’ve found as I’m developing my plugin that this is not true. When you alt drag a layer, the children within it have ids that are not unique. Is there a workaround?

Sorry, but this can’t be true. Each node has a unique ID.

    Actually the children IDs to use IDs of father for localization, example:

    ID father: 12345;
    ID Children: 12345; 56789;

    But this it doesn’t mean that the child doesn’t have a unique ID.
