In the PythonModule of my digital asset I have this function:
The function, which is called by a button on the OTL, is trying to set the value of a parameter belonging to a node inside the same digital asset.
I get the following error whenever I try to run the function:
PermissionError: Failed to modify node or parameter because of a permission error. Possible causes include locked assets, takes, product permissions or user specified permissions

That's because the digital asset is locked, so I have to allow the editing of content of the OTL in order to make it work.
But this is not what I want to do.

What's the proper workflow with python to set a parameter of a node inside the digital asset?
Any help very appreciated,
cheers

you can make the node inside Editable, or you can promote that parameter to the top level and make it invisible.

hey Micheal, thanks for the tip!
The node inside is a simple null, so it's already “unlocked”..
I'll try the second option you mentioned.

Cheers!

In the OTL type properties tab for that HDA there is a section under the Node tab to add editable nodes

how can i delete/create nodes in a locked hda from the python module?

i am using a button with a callback script that runs a delete() function

for n in node.children(): n.destroy(True)


i get an error message that i don't have permissions because the asset is locked. Is there a way around this?

A locked HDA can't change its contents. However, an HDA can contain an editable subnet which can be manipulated.
