The way this works in our pipeline is:

  • we have a lib project, to which all reusable assets are added
  • in other projects, the loader app is configured to load assets from the lib project

In order to configure tk-multi-loader2, add the following under “entities:”

- caption: Library assets
   entity_type: Asset
   filters:
   - [project, is, {type: Project, id: 359}]
   hierarchy: [project, sg_asset_type, code]
- caption: Library shots
   entity_type: Shot
   filters:
   - [project, is, {type: Project, id: 359}]
   hierarchy: [project, sg_asset_type, code]

This will allow loading from project with id 359. It will show up in a separate tab in the loader app.
I believe I saw this in the docs, but was not able to find it now.
