Support for Custom Tooltips on C++ Operator Parameters

Wishlist and RFEs

Hi,

It would be a great addition if we could define custom tooltip information for parameters in C++ OPs, similar to how native TouchDesigner operators function. Currently, providing context or instructions for custom parameters requires external documentation, but having it integrated into the UI would significantly improve the user experience for shared plugins.

Is this something on the roadmap or currently possible via the C++ API?

Cheers,
Colas

In Python, you just set the .help attribute (or use Comp Editor). I’ll ping one of the C++ op team to give you details of how to set it there.

Hey, this isn’t currently possible but we’ll add this feature to the API in the near future.
