Introduced
1.0
Description
Updates the connections of an operator for a specific group given a list of objects. The group of ports to update is specified with GroupIndex and GroupInstanceIndex. The mapping of these objects on the operator group ports is governed by the flag AlreadyRefined. If this flag is true, the objects will be connected on the ports directly; since this is a one-to-one mapping, the number of objects should match the number of ports for this group. If the flag is false, the command will automatically refine the objects as required by the operator.
The list may contain empty objects: by default these empty objects are skipped during the update, therefore the current connections corresponding to the position of the object in the list are left untouched. This behavior can be changed by setting the flag ForceDisconnection to true. This flag instructs the command to disconnect the current connected object only if the corresponding port is set as optional.
