HDA Parms Referencing: Failed to move to new folder

[Ike_0007]

Greetings and salute first, hello all~

Working with a HDA that creates all geo assets from onCreated event script (Python). It's requested that various parms of the geos be driven/referenced from parmTuples ( parmTuple® rotate® for example) in a new parameter folder.

I've been looking into HDADefinition and hou.ParmTemplateGroup() but I've been hitting the wall for a while now over this and it seems counter-intuitive (seeing as MMB drag parms from geo nodes to new folder in type properties editor parameters tab would be much quicker if assets were just baked to .otl). I'm led to believe I'm attempting more work than is necessary. I can create the folder in the type properties editor manually, it's only the matter of getting the specific child geo parms required into that folder so that they're linked to/driven by the digit asset.

Thanks for assisting, cheers~

Edit:

A little sleep helps. Here's what I used

template = hou.FloatParmTemplate('geo_name_parm', 'Geo Name Parm', 3, (0,0,0))

instance.addSpareParmTuple(template,('Folder Name',), create_missing_folders=True)
