Disable secondary pool option?

Is there any way to disable the Secondary Pool menu within the Maya submission script.

We don’t use this where I work, and since Deadline is already quite poor at remembering certain render job settings it would be useful to not also have to check this, a redundant feature for us, with every job submission.

You can’t hide it, but it would be really easy to write a custom event plugin to just set it to “none” on every submission. Here’s an example of setting pools you could crib:

You could also delete the UI code from the submission script, that lives over at “[repo]\submission\Maya\Main\SubmitMayaToDeadline.mel”. Look for the label and the textbox should be close.
