Switch Client Text Area

Any plans on making a textarea field for the Switch Client? It is a pain for some fields to be limited to a single line.

Switch Client Error - Job(s) 'x' was deleted or processed

The Switch Client is giving me this error when I try to view or save the job:





But the job is in that check point. I've verified in Finder. Any idea why this is happening?

Populating a checkpoint metdata dropdown list with multiple values

Hi, I'd like to set dropdown options programmatically. I can't figure out how to do this. I wrote a script which generated a string with 'n' between each value, then in my dropdown list for "Data type" i selected multi-line text with variables and dropped the PrivateData key for that multi...

Silent failure of non-automanagaed folders on unmounted volumes

When a volume becomes unmounted, Switch recognizes this and marks the folder as red but it does not error our the flow. This happens from time to time. Is there any way to alert someone somehow if a folder gets in a state like this? Or maybe possibly stop the entire flow?

I think you would want to have all of these files go into a folder, then have several paths going out. The "include these jobs" with single line text with values, saying is jobnameproper after second underscore is == to INT then send it this way, if == to ECS then send it that way, etc... ...

Transferring Metadata to PrivateData

I think you would find it's a lot easier to just use something like this https://github.com/dominickp/SwitchWriteToPrivateData to "build metadata location path" to write it to private data. You would just have to put a hold on a folder somewhere and you can inspect the metadata in "si...
