now it doesn`t error but still not adding all element, only 1 it
seems:
valuesPlug = listPlug.child(listCount)
for i in range(100):
elem = valuesPlug.elementByLogicalIndex(i)
elem.setFloat(0.1)
arraySize = valuesPlug. numElements()
after adding value to 100 different indexes of new array I thought the
size would be 100 as well, but I`m getting 1.
