I have a string array that has collected all the possible usable attributes that I want and set them in alphabetical order. Just need to get rid of the duplicate ones as the array is to be used to create a dropdown list of "name" choices for editing purposes. can't find out how I did this in the past?

Ok maybe this might be a better way to do the same...
I want to get all the different variables an attribute has that the current prims use and create a list in an array.
I only want it to use each variable once in the list.

I am trying to create valid choices for a dropdown picker to help reduce the use of extra variants in an attribute.
and make the amount of choices smaller and more streamlined as the project moves on.

This can be achieved with uniquevals() [www.sidefx.com].

can't work out the info page

I get it Thanks

If its a string attribite and the menu you are talking about is in the parameter pane then you can directly use Python menu script

Its all good now thanks the "uniquevals" did the trick when I got my head round what was needed to use it.
