Add Deadline Comment

Development
1

Hello!

I am trying to add a deadline Comment when submitting. This parameter is not exposed by default on the AYON publisher and I was wondering it was possible to populate it using the additional job info section of the deadline profile settings.

{
“Comment”: “test”
}

When doing that, it is showing the collect job infos plugin, but it isn’t being passed on to Deadline afterwards.

Any way this could work from the AYON backend? Or would I have to modify the submission scripts directly?

Thanks !

Could you please elaborate? Couldn’t reproduce. Seems to be passing through fine. (Nuke)

Hey ! Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to get the AYON job name variable to show up by default in that comment section.

How did you proceed to have it showing that way? Is it a manual comment from the publisher or did you use the Deadline plugin settings?

this is what I am trying to do. I would be fine setting up the project name manually once per project, but ideally I’d like to have an ayon variable set by default to reflect the project name.

Thanks for your help!

I think using the comment there to indicate the project is a wrong approach.

The publisher UI’s comment field, like Petr showed, should appear under the comment in Deadline already.

To store more context information and make it visible in Deadline - I prototyped this PR once: Submit along Extra Info with jobs by BigRoy · Pull Request #53 · ynput/ayon-deadline · GitHub which we ended up using just fine.
