How can I add a userdata combobox using python?

Define a long and adding children to it does not work.

            bc = c4d.GetCustomDatatypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_LONG) # Create default container
            bc[c4d.DESC_NAME] = "Point" # Rename the entry
            element1 = node.AddUserData(bc) # Add userdata container
            node[element1] = 2 # Assign a value
            
            #DTYPE_CHILDREN
            bc = c4d.GetCustomDatatypeDefault(c4d.DTYPE_CHILDREN) # Create default container
            bc[c4d.DESC_NAME] = "Name 01" # Rename the entry
            element11 = node.AddUserData(bc) # Add userdata container
            node[element11] = "Name 01" # Assign a value

Great, thank you.

And I guess, adding or changing the list of names is then just using BaseList2D.SetUserDataContainer().

Edit or add things to the "names" BaseContainer() to change the things in the list.
SetUserDataContainer() updates the UD after you've changed something inside it.
