I'm trying to build a plugin that creates child nodes for the node it's editing. It can create the node, but it doesn't save the new nodes. How can I make this happen?

candid sorrel I'm trying to build a plugin that creates child nodes for the node it's editing....

i believe this has something to do with the owner-property of a node, in order for the node to be saved inside a packed scene, the owner must be the root node of that scene.
just copying the content of that property to the child should be enough, although i haven't personally done something like that yet.

#
