to be honest, my experience with logging objects is so simple, i've never needed to try this live look into the object. my expectation was the log is a snap shot in time, not a live look at the object. an interactive view into the object does sound interesting rather than constant log entries for each step. which is how I would have tried to do something the first time only to be confused by it. TIL.

What the parent posts are trying to hint to you is that the default logging behaviour of the console is the live-look model, which is almost never what you wanted with logging. (Though it does have other uses.) To avoid the live-look, you can deep clone, or just stringify.

That's just one of the reasons I always say...

Wow, I never knew this.
