Is there a command to rename the Explicit channel name?

I want to know the command to type the name AO in the red box in the picture, does anyone know?
The node created Render Setting - Render Elements - ExtratTex and renamed the node Ao.
I want to know the command to change the name in the red box.

Hi!

explicit channel name is just an Attribute ("vray_explicit_name_extratex") on the AO object that controls that renderelement.

You can change it using setAttr:

import maya.cmds as mc node_Name = "vrayRE_AO" explicit_channel_name= "Name_You_Want" mc.setAttr("{}.vray_explicit_name_extratex".format(node_Name), explicit_channel_name, type= "string")

I hope it helps!
