Hello, I’m simply trying to create a custom module with some “Add” buttons that add elements to their corresponding lists. I used ExtensionWizard and Qt Designer to make the UI with the buttons. I didn’t use any coding, Python or otherwise, and am unsure how to add the functionality to the buttons.

You’ll need to write python scripts to that connect to the signals generated by the UI elements. It’s not hard, just review the examples and the [python tutorials](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#Tutorials_for_software_developers).
