Hi,

Thanks for the reply and feedback, I wasn’t aware that I could use setStringProperty to interact with rv this way. Since I launched my stack creation with python, I ended up by directly doing this:

> [rv.commands.setStringProperty(‘{stack}.composite.type’.format(stack=stack), [‘replace’], True) for stack in rv.commands.nodesOfType(‘RVStack’)]

Best regards,

Dimitri
