I'm just trying to create a custom parameter interface to read some string attributes from a geometry node, but for some reason I can't make it read string attribs, but it works fine with float attribs. I've obviously got something wrong somewhere, but cannot figure out where. I would be grateful if anyone is able to take a quick look…

Not sure what the issue is. You are creating the attributes under the detail context, and they show up. Just remember that some function calls to fetch string attributes have a trailing "s" added to them. To fetch a float you might use point, to fetch a string you would need to use points the trailing "s" denotes operating upon a string instead of a number.

Ah! that was it… I just had to use the details() funtion, not detail().

Thank you, that really helps.
