How do I display text in BASE COMP node viewer window at project level not the word BAS?

On the COMP’s Common page, there’s an Operator Viewer parameter which you can set to show any op.

A common trick I use:

  1. Inside the base, create a text TOP
  2. Name it label
  3. For the Text parameter set it to an expression parent().name (or whatever text you want to display)
  4. For the resolution use expressions parent().nodeWidth and parent().nodeHeight
  5. Set Auto-Size Font to Always
  6. On the base COMP set the Operator viewer to ./label
  7. On the base COMP click the circle button on the top left to switch it to viewer mode
