You've come across an inherent 'feature' of subnet nodes which are used for creating digital assets.

There's several options you can do that perhaps gets you closer to a working solution.

I've created an embedded asset in this hip file with some set ups you can combine to your preferences.

The first to note is that when creating your asset:

In the assets 'Edit Operator Type Properties' there is a tab labelled 'Node'.

In there, because it's relative reference by default you can just type in the name of your paint node. Then before saving node type > match current definition - set the display flag on the paint node.

With asset now saved, you can select that asset, go inside and select the paint node.

Other options to throw into the mix and perhaps help is set up multiple output options as in the example hip.

"My god! What's wrong with you, man?"

Like I already said...ask SideFX...they can likely clarify what the deal is and why.

But I suggest you change your attitude with them first if you want help.

Did you add 311 yourself at some point to overide the default Python version?

I don't use python much but I do recall in discussions on the forums of people specifying the Python version they want to work with.

What you are showing here is not what's available on the download page.

Maybe someone who works regularly with Python would have noticed the same thing, if true(SideFX removing 311 versions).

Otherwise, if you want to be clear - just go to submit bug/rfe page and ask SideFX why they removed 311 default versions from the production builds.(If they did).

And if they did, again, pretty sure you can just download the .684 version you want but in preferences(or wherever Python alternive versions are specified); Set to your desired Python version.(311, off course with that python version download and placed where it can be accessed).

No need to be 'snappy' - You weren't actually clear from the start of your first post, you only added 311 to the mix in later comments.
