ID 378111 - SuperTool parameters do not update their Hint String via Python

Problem summary
Within Katana, if you modify a Node's Parameter's Hint String it will update immediately within the Parameters Tab.
This behavior occurs for all Nodes, except for SuperTools.
For SuperTools, the Parameter Tab updates the label but not the parameter's options.

Customer reported version
Katana 4.0v2

Customer reported platform

Steps to reproduce issue

1. Create a PopupParameterSuperTool node (see attachment)

2. Change the popup parameter hint label and options:

newHints = {'widget': 'popup', 'label': 'Dynamic PopUp Child Param','options': ['DDD', 'EEE', 'FFF']}NodegraphAPI.GetNode('PopupParamSuperTool').getParameter('resolution.myPopup').setHintString(repr(newHints))

Actual behavior
Notice that the drop-down parameter's options have not changed but the label has changed.

However, in Python, the hints have been updated:

NodegraphAPI.GetNode('PopupParamSuperTool').getParameter('resolution.myPopup').getHintString()

Output:

{'widget': 'popup', 'options': ['DDD', 'EEE', 'FFF'], 'label': 'Dynamic PopUp Child Param'}

Expected behavior

The SuperTool parameters should update completely when its hint string is changed.

Workaround
No known workaround.
