RPC importprivkey: new label behavior
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, `importprivkey` automatically added the default empty label
|
||||
("") to all addresses associated with the imported private key. Now it
|
||||
defaults to using any existing label for those addresses. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
- Old behavior: you import a watch-only address with the label "cold
|
||||
wallet". Later, you import the corresponding private key using the
|
||||
default settings. The address's label is changed from "cold wallet"
|
||||
to "".
|
||||
|
||||
- New behavior: you import a watch-only address with the label "cold
|
||||
wallet". Later, you import the corresponding private key using the
|
||||
default settings. The address's label remains "cold wallet".
|
||||
|
||||
In both the previous and current case, if you directly specify a label
|
||||
during the import, that label will override whatever previous label the
|
||||
addresses may have had. Also in both cases, if none of the addresses
|
||||
previously had a label, they will still receive the default empty label
|
||||
(""). Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- You import a watch-only address with the label "temporary". Later you
|
||||
import the corresponding private key with the label "final". The
|
||||
address's label will be changed to "final".
|
||||
|
||||
- You use the default settings to import a private key for an address that
|
||||
was not previously in the wallet. Its addresses will receive the default
|
||||
empty label ("").
