Setting the default value of a node's string attribute

[Szabolcs Horvátth]

Hi,

I'd like to specify the default value of a string attribute of a node generated by a Python plugin.
Based on the C++ API docs I assume I have to use OpenMaya.MFnStringData() but I can't find any solution that actually works.

Any tips and pointers are much appreciated!

Cheers,
Szabolcs

try this:

tAttr = OpenMaya.MFnTypedAttribute()
tAttr.create(name, name, OpenMaya.MFnData.kString,
OpenMaya.MFnStringData().create(default_value) )

Thanks Michal,

This was the kind of stuff I tried and this is what I get with Maya 2015sp6 on windows7:
--
RuntimeError: file S:\Maya_2015_DI\build\Release\runTime\Python\Lib\site-packages\maya\OpenMaya.py line 4821: (kFailure): Object does not exist
--

The usual useful and descriptive error message. :)

Cheers,
Szabolcs

Hi Szabolcs

Sorry for late reply, I missed your post.

Can't help with exact error message, but in case you haven't resolved it by now, here's a working code:
