Help with Developing Addon: Having bug with outliner

thesamuraiwho · August 30, 2021, 8:36am

Hello, I’m having some issues with the outliner with my addon code (Blender 2.80). I’m not quite sure what is causing the issue. The issue is that when I run my addon, I create a collection for several generated objects. But the outliner lists the item twice even though there is only one copy of each object. I have included a link to my code and a screenshot. Please let me know if there is a better place to post my question or if any more information should be provided. Thanks!

    bpy.ops.object.delete()

If you need help with add-on development, I would suggest you ask your question on a community website like Blender’s Stack Exchange. In this case this has already been answered: scripting - Why does adding an object to a collection with Python not remove it from its old collection? - Blender Stack Exchange
