Hi!

In my HDA, there's a node called "lastFrame" with a detail string attribute "lastFrame". How can I get that string to show in the HDA interface? I've done it before with a "Label - Message" but I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

you are missing . if you want to do relative path inside of the current node
`details("./lastFrame", "lastFrame")`
or omit / altogether
`details("lastFrame", "lastFrame")`

since just starting with / would suggest absolute path
