this problem "can be solved" , but I don't know how 
I have a MaterialData plugin, most of its description are dynamic "using GetDDescription"
it is a node based Material "CustomDataType" , with its GeUserArea.
each node "from my custom nodes" , got its own attributes, stored inside its class, like data type, data name, data value, connections , ....
when the user selects a node, I mark this node.
in GetDDescription() , I get the marked node, loop over its data, check their type, add the Descriptions dynamically.
when I modify any value from the node, it is stored in the class, restored also using Set/GetDParameter()
so far so good, dynamic descriptions, values are fine, and here comes a nightmare problem!!
if I animate any description "for example in node 1" , it also animates the same description in all other nodes "the index of the description"
note: kndData is a CustomDataType subclass
here is the stripped portion of GetDDescription:
for(Int32 i = 0; i < kndData->nodes[kndData->selectedNode].getInputCount(); ++i)
{
++ids;
//wire connected
if(kndData->nodes[kndData->selectedNode].getInputWireId(i) >= 0)
continue;
Int32 idt = kndData->nodes[kndData->selectedNode].getInputDataType(i);
