Remus Avram Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Hello, we have shots linked with asset builds.In one shot we are using 5 times the same asset build.Is there a way to represent this in ftrack? Best regards,Remus
Mattias Lagergren Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Hi Remus, Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. What is the use case, how do you want to see the information? Would you like to have some additional metadata on how it is used?
Remus Avram Posted March 13, 2015 Author Report Posted March 13, 2015 Hi Mattias, it would be nice to have in the 'Linked asset builds' the name of the Asset build, the Status and additional the number of how many times it will be imported in the scene.
Remus Avram Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Posted March 2, 2016 Hi guys, are there any updates regarding this problem?
Mattias Lagergren Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Hi Remus, No update on this in terms of official support. You would need to do something like setting meta data on the shot to keep track of data like this.
Remus Avram Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Posted June 9, 2017 Hi Mattias. Thanks for the answer! There is not a problem in keeping track of the data. It's more about displaying the information in Ftrack Web interface. Production would like to get this info in a nice way. Is it possible to add custom attributes to TypedContextLink type and show them in the view bellow, or displaying the metadata as an additional column?
Mattias Lagergren Posted June 9, 2017 Report Posted June 9, 2017 Not possible at the moment but I can add it as a feature request, we've got similar questions from other companies.
Remus Avram Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks Mattias for the answer! This is quite an old request from our Production and all the workarounds provided by us didn't really work for them. Production would like to get this information straight away form Ftrack without any additional step. Any help with this will be really appreciated.
Mattias Lagergren Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 I will bring this up as a feature request with the team. Just out of interest, what type of information would you be tracking on the link? An example would help me write up a better feature request/use case

Also Production would like to have a way to update this number from Ftrack web interface without running an action. Form our side, it can be a different implementation, or trough the link. Production just need to get this info from the Ftrack web interface.
