Kit 110.2 - Properties Panel and uiHints

Omniverse Core Platform

Does the Properties Panel respect uiHints for displayName and displayGroup when defined on Prims or schema API classes? I’ve defined a custom schema with those metadata fields but I am unable to get display names and groups to appear - the property panel just shows the raw attributes, ungrouped. Any help would be appreciated - picking through omni.property.usd hasn’t gotten me anywhere. Thanks!

I solved this issue. As it turns out, the uiHints dictionary is not used by omni.kit.property.usd. However, bare, untyped displayName and displayGroup keys are respected and result in grouped panels with display names instead of raw, ungrouped properties. the style looks like:

class "MyClass" (
...yada yada yada...
)
{
    int mycompany:myclass:myattribute (
        displayName = "My Attribute"
        displayGroup = "Group:Subgroup"
    )
}

Hope this helps someone.
