Is there a way to determine what the calling parm is when a menu script is run?

The usual kwargs data does not appear to be availiable, which can be problematic in a multiparm situation. It seems the best I can do is to run some kind of post/validation job as an additional parm callback (ugh).

If this is currently impossible, then this would be a useful RFE.

kwargs and it's corresponding ‘parm’ information seems to work fine for me in Python menu scripts regardless of them being in a multiparm or not. Can you provide an example where you are having issues?

Please check /out/This.

There is one user parm with a menu script.

I would like to access kwargs-type data.

you have accessed it
you just need to return pairs of value, label

like this
t = kwargs
l = kwargs
return

I get an error trying to do tamte's example.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 2, in expression
NameError: global name ‘kwargs’ is not defined

weird, because your scene worked for me, just the menu was populated with wrong values, but kwargs was recognized

I am running 11.0.469 on Linux. Is this a bug with this version? Can anyone else verify that this works (or doesn't…)?

Thank you.
