Get Asset Build Types from Project

[bryand]

Hi,

 

Is there a way to get the Asset types from a schema?

I'm trying to do the following:

 

 project = ftrack.getProject("Piggy Bank")

 

 for n in project.getTaskTypes():

  print n.get("name")

 

This works fine to return all task types but is there a way I can get only the Asset Build Types specified in the schema? in the case of "VFX_Scheme", it would return

Character, Prop, Environment, Matte Painting

 

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

 

Unfortunately not at the moment. I have added a feature request ticket to add this in a coming version.

 

Thanks,

Has there been an update to this? I am running into the same problem with the JavascriptAPI. I'm trying to build a dropdown with all available Asset Build types for the current projectSchema in my UI. I've scoured the projectSchema entity and can't find the necessary data.

Hi Mike,

We have a helper method for obtaining the available statuses in the project schema, but it doesn't seem to be one for returning the available types at the moment.

It is a bit complicated to follow the entity structure for the project/workflow schemas, so I did a first pass at a similar method which you can find here: https://bitbucket.org/snippets/ftrack/n79e8B

It might need some more polish before it is read for general use, but I believe it should be enough for your use case. You can use it like so:
 

getAvailableTypes(
	session,
	'AssetBuild',
	'caddd816-acb5-11e1-8668-f23c91df1211'
).then(
	types => console.info('Types', types)
);
