I’m excited for the new Decal.TextureContent property! Also cannot wait for EditableImage/EditableMesh replication to be announced.

I say revert this before it even goes live.

Its nice but moderation should be done on the person who has uploaded the asset, not the person who owns it

TL;DR: We’re gradually migrating all of the asset reference properties from string → Content type.
This lets us reference content in more ways going forwards (the content property can reference a cloud asset, a WIP editable object in the place, or any number of other potential future sources such as a file on your disk)
Previously the only tool we had to work with was asset protocol formatting such as rbxthumb:// which was not scalable and semantically poor for tooling to interact with.

This doesn’t mean that rbxthumb:// will be removed, right? It’s currently the only reliable way for Players to set Custom Images without the Image asset id and not the decal asset id. Now that we have spoofed asset ids, incrementing to find images isn’t possible anymore so I hope this protocol remains intact or we receive something that supersedes it that can give Players the ability to enter their own Decal ids that get converted to the Image one automatically. This is used for numerous features like customization game passes and the like. In a game I work on, we use rbxthumb:// to retrieve custom nametag icons for players with access to the feature.

Ok, this is actually really cool.
Thank you tnavarts and the whole Roblox team for doing this.

It will stay, the content scheme isn’t to replace the asset protocols but to open up new possibilities we couldn’t accomplish with them.
FYI we implemented a replacement solution for this: Non-sequential Asset ID Generation Coming Soon - #103 by tnavarts

Got the potential ETA on texture instance types getting the content support?

This can be SOOO useful though.

Exactly, either this should be reverted or they should definitely add the option for the place owner to decide whether they should get ownership or the user that uploads them

Hi! This was a non-user facing bug in the Luau New Type Solver Beta that I mistakenly marked as developer facing. If you are not using the New Type Solver Beta, this won’t affect you. I will amend the release notes to remove this line item.
