Request: Could we get more options to attach metadata to the unroll class?

Hello,

I am currently dealing with the Unroller class. I wish there would be more options to attach metadata to the geometry when unrolling. For example, I have two lists of text dots I wish I could attach separately, because they refer to different properties. Let’s say I have two lists ([textdot0, textdot1, textdot2] and [textdot3, textdot4]). Right now, my option would be to send [textdot0, textdot1, textdot2, textdot3, textdot4] and splitting the list again after unrolling, but it gets randomized in the process, e.g. [textdot1, textdot4, textdot2, textdot3, textdot1], so merging the lists and splitting it again after output is not an option.

Another thing, why can’t I attach a simple string to the unroll class? For example, I tried to attach metadata through the User Dictionary but it is lost after transformation.

Maybe there is an option that I did not consider to achieve this?

Best
Paul
