You need to to check the ViewType, not the ElementType.

Thanks for the reply.
Still having the issue.

Are the additional views synchronized / saved to the background document? If they are in the active document, then they should also be there if it is opened in the background as long as the models are the same there should be no different between them.

Hi @SeanP great code thanks, it works with an input list (I modified a bit to work also with one element) I have only one question, why you are using the TransactionManager ?
Thanks in advance, cheers

There is no need in this case. That is just part of my boilerplate python node. Plus typically I’ll end up doing something that needs a transaction.
