pattrmarker: doesn't understand "set"

Hello,

I want to use pattrmarker in one device that will be loaded in a couple of instances in Ableton. Therefore I want to give every device a unique pattrmarker id consisting of "PattrDevice[Device id]". See the screenshot below.

The pattrmarker object has an inlet stating:

pattrmarker: set name

But it does not seem to work. I get the error:

pattrmarker: doesn't understand "set"

The documentation does not state any set functions: https://docs.cycling74.com/reference/pattrmarker/

  • But why does the object has the inlet? Is it a bug?

  • Any ideas on how to solve my problem?
