WIP - setting User Text on Attributed Block Prior to baking and preview?

Continuing the discussion from WIP - Setting User Text On Model Objects Prior To Baking?:

To expand on the above discussion, in the latest wip, the User Text now works prior to baking as expected. But I tested to assign the User Text on transformed block definitions or existing block instances, and the user text fixed to block attribute could not be modified by bake/update, and also it could not be previewed with a new-assigned attribute.

@AndyPayne @michaelvollrath Have you had any concentration on this?

Please see the screenshots below:

Thank you all for your time!

Would it be possible to include a simple Rhino and Grasshopper file so I can replicate what you’re seeing? Thanks.

@AndyPayne Sorry for the late reply, I have tested the latest beta version, and it seems not updated for this, and I also found another issue. Please see below:

#1 it seems to get wrong when display in gh that will always display the last created block attritbutes.

#2 blockinstance in gh will not display the modified attributes
#3 Attributes of baked blockinstance will unexpectedly reset to default value.
#4 baked block instance will out of tracking by the bake component, can be repeated with the second cllick and it turned yellow for warning.

Hi
@kike @Gijs Are these possible to be fixed in the next update? :grin:

@weekenlwk,

#3 and #4 will be on next RC, the other two are more tricky.
