Hello I wanted to know if it is possible to apply this script using not the user data object but the user data tag thank you very much
Do you want to place the Button to User Data Tag?
Hi, This script is what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing. I have one question. how do I control a volume object’s cache button using a user data button?
Thanks
Did you mean cache layer like here?

yes, the cache layer button.
This probably doesn’t work in Xpresso using Python node. I can’t get it to work here.
Yes, it tested only with tags
