Loading Hero Version with Templated Workfile Builder

adrienpat · 23 September 2025 08:08

Hey there,

Is there an easy way to tell the Templated Workfile Builder that we want to load the hero version of a product instead of the last version ?

If not, I might dig a little but this subject and propose a PR in a few weeks ().

I guess this is how it was implemented.

github.com/ynput/ayon-core

client/ayon_core/pipeline/workfile/workfile_template_builder.py

          placeholder_representations = [
              repre_entity
              for repre_entity in self._get_representations(placeholder)
              if repre_entity["id"] not in ignore_repre_ids
          ]
          
          repre_load_contexts = get_representation_contexts(
              self.project_name, placeholder_representations
          )
          filtered_repre_contexts = self._reduce_last_version_repre_entities(
              repre_load_contexts.values()
          )

Hey Mustafa,

Yep’ this seems to only get the last version and not the specific hero version

So I will implement a way to load the hero version instead of the specific last version. I think I will also implement a way to choose between hero and last version inside the Load Placeholder.

I think being able to filter to “latest approved” (e.g. status-specific filtering) overlaps a bit here too. Not sure how relevant that is for hero versions, but being able to load only versions of a particular status I think would go well here too?

Ouh, didn’t think of that but that seems a good idea too

I’ll talk about it to my studio and try to fit this feature in my development. I’ll keep you updated !
