[099 12740] text TOP not cooking inside Container

If you put a Text TOP inside a container, not connected to anything else, but set it’s “Text” parameter to an expression of “parent().base”, then go up a level and set that Container’s Background TOP parameter to “./text1”, the text displayed in the container should match whatever the name (without the digits) of the container is.

Instead, the only way to get the Text TOP to cook and update it’s text is to go into the Container and right click / force cook the text TOP itself. Force Cooking the Container doesn’t work, adding a Null TOP doesn’t work (if only Null TOPs had a cook always option or something) and the Text TOP even shows the correct text in the parameter view, but not it’s viewer until you force cook.


Tested on Windows 7 Pro x64
Same problem in latest 088 build too, if that matters.

Thanks for the report. This will be fixedin a later build. Please use

tdu.base(parent().name)

as a work around for now.
