Item.layer only works for items (once) equipped (POL 097)

[ncrsn]

This is only a small nuisance, but worth the thread: item.layer returns valid information only if the item is equipped or has been equipped in the past. Say, I create a sword on the ground and check it's layer using .getprop layer: "Property layer is not set or zero." If I equip it and try again, result is "Property layer is: 1". After unequipping the value is still correct, until the server is rebooted.

As far as I know this has existed for a very long time.

Even if the item is never-ever equipped layer property should tell the layer it would fit into, if any.
