Expression to retrieve name of current operator

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Hi all. Can anyone tell me is there a Python expression you can use that references the name of the current Operator-node? ie in the attached in Global Op Shortcut I want to enter an expression instead of duplicating the name of the current node DATA1

Hey @art3mis,
that’d be

me.name

For a good overview of all available python members and functions of an operator, you can also reference the python documentation by clicking on the Blue/Yellow help button in the parameters.

For the Base COMP particularly, the help can be found here:

As the Members you are looking for are shared between all operators, scroll down the page a bit to the OP Class Section of the page.

Cheers
Markus
