Strange behavior with consumables

[DarKDinDoN]

Hello,

FVTT 0.9.249 5e 1.5.7 This module 2.0.0

Assuming the following consumable configuration:

And the following quantity (2):

First use case:✅

• Use the first charge
• item is sent to chat along with the effect chat card
• User drag & drop the effect on another token (the Paladin is the origin actor)
• User use the last charge and drag & drop the second effect chat card into himself (paladin) -Everything is ok ✅

Second use case:❎

• Use the first charge
• item is sent to chat along with the effect chat card
• User drag & drop the effect on himself (the Paladin)
• User use the last charge and send the item and the effect chat card into the chat again -The effect created on the origin actor (The paladin) is deleted as soon as the item is destroyed and the chat cards are created ❎

Here is the object if you need it: (GitLab won't let me upload a JSON, if you are not comfortable with a zip I can send you the JSON over Discord) fvtt-Item-acid-(vial).zip

I believe this is a behavior inherited from Core and I'm not really sure what to do about that.

Since the actor who owns the item with the effect is applying the effect to themself, the core system seems to treat it as though the effect is tied to the item's existence (similar to a 'normal' magic item with effects e.g. Cloak of Protection).

So following that same logic, as soon as the item is gone, the effect gets deleted (as it would for an item like a cloak of protection).

This can be demonstrated without the Effects to Chat module active by setting the Acid effect to Automatically Transfer but be disabled. Enable the effect on the owning actor manually, then use the consumable. The effect is removed as the item is destroyed.

Not sure if I understand the core logic here. Should we open a ticket?
