Hey all,
I’d love to have a ${version} just as there is a ${project} ${shot}
ideally this grabs the v[0-9]+ and puts it in the publish.
yes we can type it manually but artists SUCK at that 
any clues/help for this?
thanks!
Rob
Hey Rob,
First off, you mentioned in your other thread that you’re using the ‘Create Shotgun Version’ script in the Monitor’s right-click menu. I’m assuming that’s the case here too; let me know if I’m wrong in that assumption!
With that in mind, I’m guessing you’d want to grab the version from a “v[0-9]+” token in the Job’s name? If it’s only in the scene’s (or script’s) file name, then that’s a bit trickier to get from the Monitor’s point of view, since where we store that is plugin-specific.
On a related note, would being able to grab the entire Job Name with a ${jobname} tag be useful here? That might be easiest if you’re formatting your Deadline Job names the same way as your Shotgun versions, and I just realised that I forgot to add that particular tag to the right-click script (it should work with the regular submitters, though).
Cheers,
- Jon
If it could grab from the output file information that could be very cool.
