R8 - Modify Element User Text On A Per Instance Basis W/ Dynamic Baking

Hello,

I’ve created a cluster that allows me to populate model objects with default element user text keys & values while also allowing the user to override these parameters at a per instance basis and therefore works with the dynamic baker introduced recently.

@AndyPayne @kike

Is this really necessary or am I just overlooking a simple setting somewhere that will allow the bake component to not overwrite all element user text values by default?

Please see attached GH file for the cluster and logic contained within.

Thank you for your time!

I think if you right-click on the User Text component, it allows a few different modes in how it attaches new user text objects to an existing collection. Have you tried those?

Yes I have and they appear to be working properly. I just retried it with the default Merge option and it appears to be working just fine.

I believe when I tested it prior to the most recent WIP build it was not and so I went on the journey of building the logic above but it seems that now it’s updating the values as expected without overwriting them.

Thanks!
