Hi
I'm in a situation where a need a different description for newly
created objects. The object itself doesn't know that it's newly
created, it just know because I just created it. Answering an object
and a description feels kinda kludgey so are there other options?
Cheers

What is newly created, and when does it stop being newly created? Is it
something the object should know, or the thing that created it?

If you don't create the objects through the usage of a description than you
should be able to use the instance side description selector. As soon as you decided what
is the difference between newly created and initialized (?) you can put the conditon in
the instance side description selector.

In the next request.
Is it
something the object should know, or the thing that created it?
I'd say rather the thing that created it. Whoever the thing that
created it should not have to know how it has to massage the
description of the object.
