[Closed] Dropdown selected state resets in scripted plugin

Hi all,

I’m creating a scripted plugin helper. I have a drop down list and a checkbox. The issue is that the selected option on the drop down list resets after deselecting the plugin node. Below is the script to create it. To recreate the issue, either run the execution in the comments, or create the node, change the drop down option, deselect and select the node again. I’ve run out of ideas, but am getting back to Maxscript after a while, so maybe I’m missing something obvious. This does not occur with the checkbox, as in I can set it’s state, and deselect the node and select it again and the previous sate is retained. Thanks for the help

function setAssetType assetType =
(
for i in this.assetRollout.dropdwn_assetType.items do
(
if assetType == i then
(
this.assetRollout.dropdwn_assetType.selected = i
exit
)
)
)

rollout assetRollout “Root Node” width:168 height:309

dropdownList ‘dropdwn_assetType’ “Asset type” pos:[0,0] width:160 height:40 items:#(“Mesh”, “Rig”,“Animation”)

– Example execution below
/*
newNode = MyRootNode()
select newNode
newNode.setAssetType “Rig”
deselect newNode
select newNode
