iClone 8 Python API - AddKey animates prop but produces no keyframe dots in timeline

Using iClone 8 RLPy, I can animate a prop with AddKey/SetKeyTransition/ObjectModified and the animation works correctly, but no keyframe dots appear in the timeline. The exact same pattern works in an existing plugin and does produce dots. What is the correct method to produce visible timeline keyframe dots on a prop via Python in iClone 8?

Working code (animates but no dots):

python

ctrl = box.GetControl("Transform")
trans = box.LocalTransform()
trans.R().SetX(0.2588)
trans.R().SetW(0.9659)
time_obj = RLPy.RTime.FromValue(6000)
key_frame = RLPy.RTransformKey()
key_frame.SetTime(time_obj)
key_frame.SetTransform(trans)
ctrl.AddKey(key_frame)
ctrl.SetKeyTransition(time_obj, RLPy.ETransitionType_Step, 1.0)
RLPy.RGlobal.ObjectModified(box, RLPy.EObjectModifiedType_Transform)

Note: RLPy.RTime(value) crashes in our build — only RTime.FromValue() works.

This segment of code is correct. After calling AddKey(), it primarily uses RLPy.RGlobal.ObjectModified() to notify the UI to update.

RLPy.RGlobal.ObjectModified(box, RLPy.EObjectModifiedType_Transform)

It appears that RLPy.RGlobal.ObjectModified() is not functioning properly. We will fix it in an upcoming version. Thank you for letting us know.
