Tools enhancement #17

Open iLLiCiTiT opened 1 month ago

iLLiCiTiT commented 1 month ago

Description

PR https://github.com/ynput/ayon-applications/pull/16 added option to define tools with profiles, but for some production cases it would be helpful to define them per task. That is also possible with the settings, using task path, but it is hard to maintain and there is no visual indication how to know "What tools will be used on this task?".

Suggested implementation

After discussion with @mkolar we've came to possible solution. Attributes were just not designed for this kind of feature. So we still use profiles as base functionality, but we'll also supply option to "override" profiles with "tools" stored to "data".

with "tools" stored to "data"

Can you elaborate on this? :pray:

Each entity has "data", where we can store custom metadata, e.g. tools overrides. So if task entity has "tools" in "data" it means it completelly skips the profiles logic and uses overrides instead.
