[Paraview] vtk data objects as property: how to handle that in Paraview?

[Berk Geveci]

This sounds like a poor filter design. It sounds like instead of
exposing a filter's properties through public setters and getters, the
developer bundled all of them into one property object. I'd recommend
subclassing this filter to add proper setters and getters and
including the subclass in ParaView as a plugin.
