Comment 2 Daniel Prusa 2008-05-21 14:32:08 UTC 
Currently, it makes sense to change value of a watch pointing to an instance in two ways - 1. assign null value, 2.
assign new ClassName(). We could consider to implement assignment of existing instances as well, this could be done by
using instance ID. Conclusion is that we should probably change the description in Help rather than to forbid changing
of instance ID's in watches.
Comment 3 Daniel Prusa 2009-07-14 16:13:48 UTC 
Editing of object values has been disabled, see issue 158955. Closing as fixed.
