SharedTableData.GetId

Parameters

Returns

long The key's stable id, or 0 when it is absent.

Description

Returns the stable id for a key.

Returns 0 when the key is empty, null, or not present. Ids are stable across renames, so store the id rather than the key text when you need a reference that survives a rename.
