Is it possible to specify which pin type is required instead of the "unknown" pin type?

Unfortunately the Octane SDK does not indicate what pin type is required for dynamic pins (ie. pins where you click Add Input to add a new pins). I will see if there is a workaround, however it might be something that is not doable with the current Octane SDK.

Thanks

Hi

Unfortunately the Octane SDK does not provide a "pin type" for pins which are added to the node using the "Add Input" button, so determining the node type is not trivial when popping this message. Instead, you can select the pin you are connecting to, and then click the various Create Node buttons and only the compatible nodes will be available.

Thanks
