Hi @jenandesign,
thank you for sharing your little setup. I think your suggestion is great, but the problem is: We cannot handle feature requests in the SDK-team which are not directly concerned with one of the APIs. And although Cinema's old node editor is kind of "coding-related", it is in the end not directly related to one of Cinema's SDKs, which is the ground we do cover here. So I would have to ask you kindly to bring up your suggestion with Maxon's end user support, as they do handle these kind of requests.
Cheers and thank you for your understanding,
Ferdinand
