Linking values via expression.

[Henrik]

Hello,

 

I would like to link a value inside a custom attribute in a shot to an asset underneath this particular shot.

The idea was to use something like

{Shot.Custom_Attribute}

But that does not work, unfortunately.
Reading the manual atm, but I am very grateful for any kind of help.

 

Have a great day!

Hi @Henrik, you can use custom attributes in expressions, but you can only reference attributes available on the entity itself, using self.
you can see that in action for the duration : {self.fend - self.fstart + 1}

here you can find more information about custom attributes and expression

hope it helps.

Thank you for your message!

So we can only link on self and some ftrack globals? 

We would like to build a spreadsheet that our producer than can easily export as csv. without the help of a TD.
