Daml Hub Party allocation issue

Hello everyone,

I was testing the creation of contracts on a ledger hosted on daml hub, and I have met with a strange behaviour that I expected only to be possible using the daml sandbox. Basically what happened, is for newly created contracts with parties that weren’t yet allocated, instead of failing the transaction, it allocated them instead. I don’t believe this would be the expected behaviour, but if so, I’d like a bit more clarification to that end.

Thank you in advance.

That is indeed the expected behavior today on Daml Hub, but you should definitely not rely on this continuing to behave this way. In the future, this will be an error on Daml Hub as well.
