Hi there, I''ve added a custom attribute to a node using the following code but i cant fugure out how to put it under its own layout, rather than in 'extra attributes'. Does anyone know how to do this?

cmds.addAttr('object1', longName='attribute', shortName='attr', at='enum', en='one:two:three')



Thanks!

You need to edit the ae template of the node. Normally youd reserve this for your own nodes because you now must manage ALL nodes of this type yourself.
