I need drivers and properties to be changed at the same time via my script. But the drivers are not updated after I press the "Run" button. struct After a property has been changed with a script, how do I force update all drivers?

Edit:
I completely forgot to mention that I have nested drivers. Code bpy.context.view_layer.update() successfully updates everything, but nested drivers are updated with 80% success rate.

bpy.context.view_layer.update() should do it.

  • $\begingroup$ It works successfully with a 80% chance. Sometimes you have to click on the script button twice to update everything. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Python script changes rotations of an object (light). The driver for rotating an object along the z axis changes the sun rotation of the "Sky Texture" node in "World". The code bpy.context.view_layer.update() successfully updates the driver at 80% chance when the Run button is clicked. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Could you maybe share the code? You could edit the question and include it there. $\endgroup$
