import substance_painter as sp
current_stack = sp.textureset.get_active_stack()

selected_layers = sp.layerstack.get_selected_nodes(current_stack)

for layer in selected_layers:

if layer.get_type() == sp.layerstack.NodeType.GroupLayer:

# this always returns an empty list, regardless of the number of effects on the group layer

layer_effects = layer.content_effects()

Can second this is happening. From my own testing, this is only on group layers, fills seem fine. I can create a new Group layer, add something to the content stack & Python will find it fine. If I then save the scene & reopen it, it returns an empty list.

If I add something new to the content stack, _that_ appears to Python, and the old ‘broken’ one does not, but if I reorder the broken one above the new one, it’s then available to Python again.

I’ll try and attach some images, I’ve been trying to find a workaround that doesn’t involve someone manually fudging the order of layers for my code to know they’re there!
