RESOLVED: Hidden Parameters on Widget's "Common" Page When Query with Python

Hello,

When querying parameters of any WidgetCOMP’s Common page, there are a few extra parameters in the returned list that’s not showing in the parameter dialogue, with the parameter names: “chop”, “namedchop”, “overridemethod”, “overlay”.

However when using a parameterDAT to do the same query, those don’t show up in the result.

Seems like some kind of leftover?

Please see attached .toe for a demonstration.

These are legacy parameters that remain in all panels for backwards compatibility. They are safe to ignore. Maybe @rob has more to say about it.

No, that’s right, but Ive just added a task to review these parameters and potentially retire them for good.

Cool cool thanks guys!

After some digging, we realized we still need to leave these parms in for some very old tscript-based UI, but have plans to convert them in the future once some new features are finalized.
Thanks.
