Limiting a Custom Attribute to Specific Asset Types

[Robinson]

Is it possible to limit a custom attribute to a specific type of version IE a defined Asset Type?

In our case we track each plate used in a composite and would like to include certain metadata on every frame sequence individually.  We track these with a custom Asset type "Footage"

I'd like to create attributes that would be relevant to these versions which are published directly to the associated shots, but irrelevant to versions published on task types.

Is this possible in settings (I don't believe so) or with the API?

At the moment I don't think it's possible.

We would like to be able to have custom attributes per asset type also. Another example is that we have the camera published in Ftrack and some specific custom attributes like `shutter_open` and `shutter_closed`. These custom attributes should not be visible on a different asset type.

For each asset type there are specific custom attributes.

Hi, I will forward this feature request to the team

Hi @Mattias Lagergren

thank you! 

Is there any workaround which you would suggest in the mean while?

Hi Remus,

I don't believe there is any workaround for this.  You can group the custom attributes to make it less confusing for users, but will still show up for other asset types.

This would be very handy in order to have a cleaner view of the infos of an asset. Can we move this post into a feature request?
