add_section(
group: str | None = None,
index: int | None = None,
active: bool = True,
) → ManualSection

Adds a new section of request/signal entries to the entity.

Note

Beware of giving sections the same names; if a named group already exists within the save you are importing into, then that group will take precedence over the group inside of the blueprint.

Parameters:
group: str | None = None

The name to give this group. The group will have no name if omitted.

index: int | None = None

The index at which to insert the filter group. Defaults to the end if omitted.

active: bool = True

Whether or not this particular group is contributing its contents to the output in this specific combinator.

Returns:

A reference to the ManualSection just added, from which you can add entries to.
