In the animation comp it seems if you rename the channels DAT and then point the animation comp to it in the Channel List DAT parameter then the animation editor won’t display the channel selection list on the left side of the window. All the channels animation curves get displayed and are editable but you can’t choose which are displayed and or lock them…
This is all in build 12870. I haven’t tried the new experimental yet…

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately when I looked into this, the scripts driving the Animation Editor do not take this different path into account. Back in 077, the Animation COMP used to also allow the attributes DAT and keys DAT to be specified in parameters as well, but we removed those options because there weren’t fully supported. It looks like for now you shouldn’t change this Channels DAT parameter either (we might disable the parameter in an upcoming build to reduce confusion)
The editor is going to be overhauled in the future, new features, fixing issues, and python foundation, so we are going to defer fixing this case for now. Hope this isn’t too inconvenient for you.
thanks Ben no problem I just changed a copy script I was using so it maintained the proper name.
If your going to be doing an overhaul on the animation component I have a few ideas to make it more functional if you would like any additional input.
cheers
