I thought I would share an example of a Publish custom plugin UI. publish_file.py The example extends the standalone publish_file.py hook, to add options for setting the task’s status to “pending review”, and adding a reviewer. [Custom publish UI] It dynamically lists people as reviewers who ar…

Is it possible to use these methods to add custom widgets to this section of the main item? [image]

Unfortunately at present you can’t add a custom UI to the item, only to the plugins. We have heard this request before though, I’ll an idea suggestion to our roadmap on your behalf.

Thanks Phil - this would be very useful! We don’t want to have to fork and adjust the UI files to get our custom fields in - would be great if we could update via a hook.

How do you redraw the main session UI if you click back to it? Once the new UI is active it stays put no matter which publisher item you click on.

Hi @jonase I believe this is the case right now, but I’ll check with someone else and get back to you. You don’t know the item unfortunately when creating the UI, so I don’t think there is a way to make the setting specific to the item.

Thanks Philip! If thats the case I would really appreciate if someone knows a smart way to be more specific with the Publish File Type, because right now it only looks at the extension of the file. So every .exr becomes an Image File, but in our case actually could be a Rendered Image OR a Plate. …
