I'm dynamically generating parameters for my HDA based on a file input. I have gotten the parm template group and altered it as needed. The final step is to call setParmTemplateGroup() to commit the changes. When I print the group's templates (g.parmTemplates()), everything is fine. Then, I call node.setParmTemplateGroup(g). When I then print the node's templates, the folder parameters have been renamed (node.parmTemplateGroup().parmTemplates()). Here is the actual code (printList just makes it easier for me to read the output):
print("--printing g")
printList(g.parmTemplates())
print("--printing node")
node.setParmTemplateGroup(g)
printList(node.parmTemplateGroup().parmTemplates())
And here is the output:
--printing g
heading1
lod
halfprot
visprot
vislip
scalebilayer
sepparm
psfldr
psfldr_1
psfldr_2
--printing node
heading1
lod
halfprot
visprot
vislip
scalebilayer
sepparm
psfldr4
psfldr4_1
psfldr4_2
I have no idea why the '4' on psfldr is being added. This is causing lots of issues down the line for me and I don't know how to make it stop I also don't know why it's just doing it to the folders. For reference, these are folders in a tab group
