Entangle Value List

[customgamebits]

I am wondering if there is a way to entangle value list components.
Basically, I have a bunch of identical value lists. They are set to drop down list and each one feeds one of the values into into another component. Whenever a new value is added to the list, I have to manually edit each instance of the dozen or so value lists to sync them up. I know if you change a cluster, other entangled clusters change too through the entangle mechanism. Is there any such thing planned for value lists or even generically for components? So when I edit one value list, all other copies get updated too.

It’d likely be pretty straightforward to script. For instance, this script might be a start, or even enough, to fulfil your requirements (e.g. it can populate value lists on the canvas with a certain Name the Keys and Values):

It’s only a bug if there are software requirements. Anywho, you can add this line to prevent the code running before it has something to work with (i.e. attempting to populate with nothing): [2021-01-08 16_07_16-Grasshopper - 210108_PopulateValueList_01_] 210108_PopulateValueList_01.gh (4.2 KB) And these bits to avoid the item selection error raised when populating an empty value list: [2021-01-08 16_33_02-Grasshopper - 210108_PopulateValueList_01] 210108_PopulateValueList_02.gh (4.4 KB) …

Brilliant! Thanks! I’ve modified the script to run on an empty list. Also I use integer values for values so modified the script to convert to string.
