CreateEditableKeywordRecord() found in more than 1 place

What are the differences:

Application app = Connect(...)

var obj1 = app.Core.KeywordRecordTypes[index1].CreateEditableKeywordRecord()

var obj2 = app.Core.GetDocumentByID(index2a).KeywordRecords[index2b].CreateEditableKeywordRecord()

What are the differences between obj1 and obj2?

There are no differences. The only difference is the way you get to it.

The KeywordRecord objects are the same, so calling CreateEditableKeywordRecord off of either of them will generate the same object.

Tim's answer is almost correct.

The objects obj1 and obj2 are mostly the same except obj2 contains the record instance ID of the record from which you created this EditableKeywordRecord. Therefore you cannot use obj1 in KeywordModifier.UpdateKeywordRecord. Since update by definition needs the id of the row you are trying to update which will not exist in obj1.

Thanks, Sriram, I needed to know that detail.
