Hi All I am new to Shotgrid, but trying my best to put things together!

Currently with tk-multi-workfiles2 Im looking to figure out how best to add a custom label that holds and artists short description on what the file is. I’ve manually edited the file\_widget.py to include the qlabel, but now I’m stuck in trying to find the best way to hold the data and get/set it on the file\_widget.

Think I was able to get my request working. So for anyone else you’d need to modify the tk-multi-workfiles2 App in which ever form your looking to add custom UI to. In my case I needed to add a lineEdit in the file\_save\_form.py. Keep in mind youd want to make a copy of the App and point it in your custom app\_locations.yml for your edits. After that I used the hook\_filter\_work\_files to help inject data to the work\_file data. Then with that data I can grab and set custom UI information.
