Hi all,

is it possible to link and get links between Shots - AssetBuilds - Tasks via the ftrack-python-api?

Cheers!

No, I'm afraid that we haven't added support for this yet.

Do you know if the link will be a new entity?

Not 100% certain but it is likely to be a new entity for this relation.

Thanks Mattias for your quick answer! Waiting for this to be implemented as it will be one of the most used in production.

Also linking the versions via the ftrack-python-api is something that we are looking forward.

Hi

 Mattias,

for example, i have AssetBuilds like Table, Fan, Chair, Tree, etc.

could you please suggest me how to add the above AssetBuilds in the Shots using FTrack Web interface.

Also, please guide us how to add or query the number/name(s) of AssetBuilds in respective Shot(s).

 

[Remus Avram 54]

Hi dheeraj.bana,

you can add the assetBuild into the shot by linking it to the shot.

Select the shot -> Links tab -> Create links -> Incoming/Outgoing

If you want to set/get the number of times an AssetBuild is into a shot you have to use the metadata.

Please check this topic regarding shot - assetBuild representation.

 

Hopes this helps.

Cheers,

Remus

Thanks Remus Avram, i tried and it worked

but how to set the metadata after/while creating the Links using FTrack Web interface and api ?

 

 

[Remus Avram 54]

You can't set the metadata through Ftrack Web interface (from what I know).

Set metadata using the new ftack API: http://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/stable/example/metadata.html

Hi @Mattias Lagergren,

are there any updates regarding this topic?

[Mattias Lagergren 145]

Hi Remus, yes this is now possible! I've just noticed that it has not been properly documented and added some docs for review here:

Thanks Mattias for the updates. I will have a look.
