I am working on an HDA where I have a stash in the HDA, its exposed and I have set the stash to "editable"
my issue is that in development when I save the HDA it also saves the contents of the stash to the HDA, which balloons the size of the HDA and gives bad feedback to the end user. how can I clear the stash when I save the HDA?

asmischneyDon't make the node editable
, its exposed and I have set the stash to "editable"
Only promote the stash dataparm (or also the buttons if you are using those unless you have custom ones) and as long as it's default value is empty it should always save into definition as empty

Ok, i get it now!
this is not just a label, which it looks like, its the geometry itself.
to anyone else showing up asking the same question, drag this into your HDA params. it can be set as hidden
thanks!
