Object.create() for user library object

Hi I am not sure if Object.create() can be used for object from the user library. Anyone can advise me? From the forum, it looks like createinstance or createcopy is still the approach.

As far as I'm aware Object.create() can only create objects that are present in the library folder of the main tree and does so by referencing their class name.

Apart from the node location, an object from a user library will likely just be a customized version of some default object and as such still belong to the same class.

So no, I don't think Object.create() can be used for user library objects.

It could however be used of objects that are part of custom modules that implement their own class.
