I have a Digital Asset with the Parameter “groupname” which I want to use within the asset for group selection.
If I enter the expression “chs(”../groupname") into Group in one of the Nodes within the Asset however, the expression does not seem to get evaluated.

Don't know but, it's always a good idea to upload your scene with your question, it easier to help…is it working when it's not in a digital asset?

I have attached a file as an example. My Problem is, that expressions that I enter into the Group field of nodes do not seem to get evaluated, digital asset or not.

Solved!

before: chs(“../parameters/groupname”)
after: `chs(“../parameters/groupname”)`

When you put an expression in a string, it's gotta be wrote between backticks…or something like that…

Cheers!

Thank you very much for your help! I tried Apostrophes and Quotation Marks, but I would've never come up with backticks.
