Hi,
In the process of Deadline scripting a UI dialog and unfortunately I could really do with a couple of radio buttons in different sections of the UI having exactly the same name to ease understanding of what they do. However, Deadline scripting doesn’t allow local variables within the context of UI design, so I have had to very slightly re-name the UI elements and hence, how they are displayed in the UI.
Please could I add a wish-list item to add local scoping to the Deadline scripting interface?
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Mike,
We’ll add this to the wish list. Currently for radio buttons, the text that is displayed is also used an its unique name, and we should really just separate these. One hack that might work for now is to add extra spaces at the end of the text. One set of radio buttons could have no spaces at the end, and another could have one space at the end. I think that might work, since the spaces would be part of the unique name.
Cheers,

Thanks Ryan.
Yes, it does indeed work, but I now have an interface requiring 4 sets of radio buttons, all to have exactly the same text applied as there options!
I’m running out of variations such as with “with spaces”, “with commas”, “with < > symbols”, etc…so being able to control local scope would work or as you say, detaching the radio button display name from being its unique variable name seems like the best solution.
Thanks,
Mike
