Does Items' assetid change after trade protection date?

[rahimi0151]

Hi guys.

with the new trade protection update, all the trade protected items are in the inventory #16 with contextid of 16. here is my question:

 

after the trade protection time is up, will the assetid of the item change as well as it's contextid? like if i have an item with market_hash_name of AK-47 | Redline (Field-Tested) and contextid of 16 and assetid of 123456789. will the assetid change after the 7 days trade protection are up?

 

if they change, what is your proposed solution to keep track of the items before and after the change? i have saved the trade to my database and have the old assetid. how can i make the connection between the old and the new assetid and update the assetid to the new one?

I don't know; you'll have to look for yourself.

For us, assetids not changed, all items after protection lock copied to context 2 with same assetid (and now have same items on context id 16 and 2 🙂)

They stay the same. Only the contextid is changing after the 7 Days back to the normal (2) as far as i can tell.
