How can I access shape_keys from .mesh?

I can’t find access to blend_shapes from mesh itself. It seems .mesh only has blend_shape_mode as property ? While blend_shape itself exists only within MeshInstance ??
I tried mesh.set("blend_shapes/nameShapeHere", value)but it doesn’t work, yet no error comes.
I want to set it for my Multimesh instances, is there no way ??

as far as I understand, this should work:

yourInstance.multimesh.mesh.set("blend_shapes/nameShapeHere", value)

maybe show us some more of your code / setup?

@rouli-m what are you trying to achieve exactly?

This is an old bug.you can just type it.the auto-correct doesn’t work for that.If the doc contains it,it means Godot has that feature.

If you are looking for that, then there’s already a topic

Is there any way to get a blend shape's name from gdscript?

Godot Version 4.6 beta 3 Question i’ve tried looking for it online but i’ve found no way to get a blend shapes’ name from code. meshes are supposed to have a method called ‘get_blend_shape_name’ but in practice i cannot call it… [Screenshot 2026-01-08 222428] does anyone know what I’m doing wrong and if there’s a solution? am i missing something? thank you in advance! right now i’m matching integers and putting in the string manually but it feels messy ;_;

I hope I got this right : 3
