Change property node from read to write

[Random User]

I'm creating dozens of property nodes via scripting.  They get placed as "read" nodes by default.  There doesn't seem to be an option to programmatically change them to write.  Am I missing something or is this simply functionality that's not currently available?

 

Thanks

Wow that was the missing key. Thanks!

What was the answer here? I'm trying to figure out the same exact thing.

Get the desired PropertyItem from the Properties[] property of the Property Node reference.  Then you can set the isWrite property as desired.

This is for a quick drop plugin, and I'm getting my references from the panel selection list. Generally, I use a "To more specific class" to get specific class reference type and thus the appropriate methods or property nodes, based on the ClassName. The ClassName I'm getting is "Property".

The problem I was having is that I couldn't find the specific class I needed for the "To more specific class" function. The answer is, Generic->GObject->Node->Growable Function-> Object Function->Property.

From there you get the PropertyItems[] list via property node and iterate through that, toggling the IsWrite property.
