Hi Burlen, There is support for this in the pipeline. In the appropriate pipeline pass (REQUEST_INFORMATION, REQUEST_UPDATE_EXTENT ro REQUEST_DATA), add the keys you want copied to the request object (the first argument to ProcessRequest) under the KEYS_TO_COPY key. This will tell the executive

Burlen, Keys are not propagated by pipeline by default. So your approach would only work when there's no other filter between the reader and your filters. With ParaView 3.10, vtkPVPostFilter get inserted always into the pipeline after every algorithm. As a result your keys maybe getting eaten up

Hi Utkarsh, Yes, I had connected the reader or source directly to the filter with no other filters intervening. I have used the keys for a number of things. In addition to passing meta data I also implemented dynamic load balancing in a couple of algorithms by passing vtkObjects. For

Hi All, I have a reader that gets the information object from it's output and adds some keys for downstream filters to use. This recently stopped working with version 3.10. Can anyone shed some light on what might have caused the change in behavior in version 3.10? Was this a deliberate
