Nice addition to the environment. Thanks for highlighting in this video, as I would likely have never found that otherwise. I think I will use the attribute version of this feature the most!

too bad it is not working with Beap - the examples with Vizzie work, I tried Beap, it does not give a name to the new object, does not create/remember the inputs/outputs, and basically just creates a "new object" with no name

The BEAP modules are patched differently than Vizzie.

To see the difference, add a BEAP module to your patch, select it, then control-lick on the object. From the contextual menu that appears, choose Object > Open original bp.(module-name).maxpat, and watch what happens.

Do the same thing to any Vizzie module and note the difference.
