SimpleShotgunModel does not find Tasks

Hello Support,

i am just wondering why at least the SimpleShotgunModel does not find any Tasks using the load_data method.
It works pretty well with Asset, Sequence and Shot but not with Taks with or without any filters.

Am i missing something?

Cheers,
René

  Hello!

  That's unexpected! Can you send the code snippet you use to instantiate and load up the SimpleShotgunModel?

  Thanks!

  Hey Manne,

  i don't have the exact code but it's straight forward:

  shotgun_model = tank.platform.import_framework("tk-framework-shotgunutils", "shotgun_model")
  my_task_list = Qt.QListView(parent)
  tasks_model = shotgun_model.SimpleShotgunModel(my_task_list)
  my_task_list.setModel(tasks_model)
  tasks_model.load_data(entity_type="Task")

   

  I have seen that you use a "standard" sg_api_object.find(......) in tk-multi-workfiles to retrieve the tasks but thought this might be that there was no shotgunutils framework built already.

  Thanks,
  René

  Thanks!

  I think this is because the SimpleShotgunModel defaults to pulling down the code field, which is the "name" field for most entity types: Shots, Assets, Sequences etc. However, Tasks are different and their "name" field is called content.

  Try this instead and see if that works better:

  tasks_model.load_data(entity_type="Task", fields=["content"])

  Hopefully that should start giving you some data back!
