Hi all. I'm still struggling through some tutorials and recently I thought I'd try to display some custom attributes to help me understand what's going on.
I followed the instructions in the online help, but I cannot get anything to display. Ever. I've attached a png showing my 15th attempt, but I've tried every combination and purmutation of variables and settings, and nothing ever shows up in the viewport.
You can see from the node info that the custom variables exist, they just wont show in the viewport.

Any ideas?

PS Sorry for any grammar errors, my browser has gone insane and is only showing everything in a tiny font size.

Looks like your attribute name should be all lower-case.

that doesn't work either.

Out of curiosity though, what is the different between the upper-case and lower case version of the attribute?

Ah, I've sorted it out. I didn't realize that the custom attribute had to be activated in the viewport . I thought the tick box in the display options activated it

Hm, that sounds like a bug. How did you successfully activate the option?

With the display properties panel open, I clicked on Display Custom Attributes and check off my attribute.
All the while the display options was open and the attribute remained unchanged in that panel.

I am also having this problem on H12, anyone still having this problem?

This is definitely a bug! I've seen it, too. You'd think checking the checkbox in the display options would do it.

Nope!

You have to then activate it in the toolbar on the right of the viewport!
