I’m trying to add menu options to maya’s menuOptionGRP and keep getting ‘Menu Item’s menu not found.’ error being thrown

below is my code… Thanks in advance for help… - Jamie

import maya.cmds as cmds

def UI():
	window = cmds.window( title = 'Optionator' )
	cmds.columnLayout()

	options = cmds.optionMenuGrp(  label = 'some options' )
	cmds.menuItem( label = 'original Option' )

	cmds.button( h = 50, label = "can haz moar options?!", c = process )

	cmds.showWindow( window )

def process(*args):
	cmds.menuItem( parent = ( 'options' + '|OptionMenu'), label = 'new option!!' )

UI()

Never mind… I solved it… as highlighted below…

import maya.cmds as cmds

def UI():
	window = cmds.window( title = 'Optionator' )
	cmds.columnLayout()

	options = cmds.optionMenuGrp( 'happyGrp', label = 'some options' )
	cmds.menuItem( label = 'original Option' )

	cmds.button( h = 50, label = "can haz moar options?!", c = process )

	cmds.showWindow( window )

def process(*args):
	cmds.menuItem( parent = ( 'happyGrp|OptionMenu'), label = 'new option!!' )

UI()
