normalizeNode updates the same nodes' property

[raitucarp]

I want to assign each element node to have an Id such that:

editor.normalizeNode = ([node, path]) => {
    if (Element.isElement(node)) {
       if (!node.id) {
            const seed = Node.string(node);
            const id = createId(seed);

            Transforms.setNodes(editor, { id }, { at: path });
       }
    }
    normalizeNode([node, path]);
}

Unfortunately, all nodes have the same Id after normalized, what is going on here? Why transforms.setNodes at specified path causes all nodes have same property?

Not sure what’s going on here but it’s likely not a Slate issue. Post a sandbox if you want help or I would ask it in Slack really. Not sure there is any bug here with Slate.

Hold on, I'll provide the sandbox later...

@BrentFarese I am facing the same issue, it happens because whenever you press enter inside a paragraph(InsertBreak) is invoked and its split the nodes, it copies all the paragraph properties to the new paragraph, it doesn't even reach the normalize logic since it will have first paragraph id on it by the code above, same happens inside list item
If you follow insertBreak logic
and see

slate/packages/slate/src/create-editor.ts

Line 158 in 735d2d0

Transforms.splitNodes(editor, { always: true })

slate/packages/slate/src/transforms/node.ts

Line 776 in 735d2d0

const properties = Node.extractProps(node)

Any solution how can we exclude the id property from the copy?
