Hi Houdini community!

I've searched, find a lot of useful information but not what I want.

I would like to set the “$OS” value to the group name parameter when I create a “Group” node.

Is there any way to do this simply?

Thanks in advance!

Yes > from the groups parameter pane > select the fly out menu from the cog logo and save yourself a preset . I always use `opname(“.”)` over $OS

instead of saving a preset you can choose Save as Permanent Defaults so it will be a default value each time you create the node without the need of loading a preset

Thanks a lot for this fast answer!

Is there any “global preset manager” to deal with every presets (specially “Defaults” ones)?

Is there any advantage to use `opname(“.”)` over $OS?

Thanks in advance.
