Issue Setting Camera Shutter Param in Solaris Using Python Feb. 3, 2025, 5:02 a.m.

I’m trying to set the shutter open and close parameters on a Camera LOP node in Houdini Solaris using Python. However, I’m encountering a Warning.
Invalid property control value on parameters 'shutter:open_control'
Here’s my code:
                if is_cam:
                    camera_node = previous_node.createOutputNode("camera", node_name + "_cam")
                    camera_node.parm("createprims").set(0)
                    cam_root_path = self.usd_utils.get_cam_path(camera_node)
                    camera_node.parm("primpattern").set(cam_root_path)
                    camera_node.parm("initforedit").pressButton()
                    camera_node.parm("xn__shutteropen_control_16a").set("set_or_create") #Issue is here
                    camera_node.parm("xn__shutterclose_control_o8a").set("set_or_create")
                    previous_node = camera_node

PySide2 Issue with a Button Functionality in Qt Window Jan. 16, 2025, 6:02 a.m.

That's right. It's working perfectly fine. Thank you so much.

PySide2 Issue with a Button Functionality in Qt Window Jan. 16, 2025, 4:57 a.m.

No that's correct, my doubt is about the below line.(line 142)
        close_button.clicked.connect(dialog.reject)  # Use reject to close the dialog

If I press close button that's printing "Debugging collected files." before closing, which I have connected to build button only.
