Problem summaryShader Args Files that contain a page named ‘Parameters’ create a ‘Parameters’ parameter group in the renderer-specific ShadingNode. However, in the NetworkMaterialCreate context, the shader parameters named ‘Parameters’ do not expand.

Customer reported platform centos7
Steps to reproduce
1. Edit RenderManProServer-22.7/lib/plugins/Args/PxrBump.args

2. Start Katana with the RenderManForKatana plugin.
3. Create a NetworkMaterialCreate node.
4. Inside the NetworkMaterialCreate context, create a PxrBump shading node.
