I was already doing something quite similar but unfortunately it still doesn't work. No help panel and no help button, just the parameters. Is there anything else I should do on the defineCharacteristics() method maybe? As for the QGIS version, I'm still using 2.18. Could this be the problem?
Thanks for the input!
