Automation parameter grouping

[dannytaurus]

Is it possible to group automation parameters together so they appear as a hierarchy in the DAW?

At the moment all automation params appear as a single list. My synth might have dozens of params, which will make the list a bit of a pain to use.

I naively tried putting the controls inside a panel and giving the panel a pluginParameterName (since a panel does have that parameter) but it didn't work.

Example: instead of the amp attack and amp release controls appearing as

Amp Attack
Amp Release

I was hoping they would appear as

Amp > Attack
      Release

where Amp is the panel pluginParameterName and Attack and Release are the respective control pluginParameterNames.

@Christoph-Hart Could that be a way to implement it?

I realize that might technically mean duplicated automation param names but if they're prefixed by the panel name that would make them unique.

Bonus question (on the topic of automation) - what is the automationID parameter for?

Werps! Just found this other post from 2021 requesting the same thing.

Still, it would be really nice to have this feature!
