getting/setting active tab in a multiparm Dec. 15, 2023, 10:29 a.m.

I am trying to get/set the current active tab of a multiparm in my hda but am having no luck, it seems this has been asked multiple times in the past with no answer:

https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/35316/?page=1#post-328289 [www.sidefx.com]

so I'm adding to the pile... is there any way to do this? it really makes interaction difficult.

If i dont set the stash as editable i get this
As I said, promote the stash data parm to your HDA

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!
