[jQuery] storing objects in jQuery data

[jQuery] storing objects in jQuery data


I am storing js objects using jQuery.data
eg.
    var newDeployment = {
        server: server,
        application: application,
        references: references
    };
$('select#something option:first').data('value', newDeployment);
The problem is that I then want to get a copy of that value, to modify, and
store elsewhere, but it is like I am getting a reference to the object,
since if I say
var newVar =
$('select#something option:first').data('value');
newVar.references = newReferences;
it's updating the value in
$('select#something option:first').data('value') instead of just newVar
Is there a way to get just a copy of the data, not the reference to the data
itself?
