Read and set .flow or .global typed input correctly

Developing Nodes

Hi

I use a typed input to let the user chose a context store:

I then get this as the value of the input:

#:(file)::myNode

Strange format to me but ok (any background info?).

But how can I set the typed input to that state - context and store? This is my result so far, not what I expect:

This is a bug in 2.1.1... fixed in 2.1.2

It has always used the 'strange' #:... syntax to encode the context store name into the property. But a bug in 2.1.0/1 meant it exposed it to the end user rather than keep it a hidden internal detail.

Hi Nick, thank you for the fast reply.

I'm currently using 2.0.5. The 'bug' then could be older.

So the intended behavior is that

input.typedInput('value','#:(file)::myNode');

should result into this

And voila, after updating to 2.1.2 it works as intended!
Thank you for pointing me in to the right direction.
