Ah youre right, the Return was the cause of the errors, not the triple quotes. Got it all working now! (after taking a few tries to get the "indents" with the strings right)

Thanks a ton!

@esan said in OperatorSetData for "Lists"?:

Another quick question. is there still a bug on c4d.GV_OBJECT_OPERATOR_OBJECT_OUT?

Yes it's still there and being R20 maintenance ended it's likely to remain.

Best, R
