How to programmatically use logical operator add function from segment editor?

Development

Operating system:windows 10
Slicer version:4.11

I want to programmatically use the add operator in the logical operators segment editor effect. Is there any way to do this? I want to use the existing segments in the segmentation nodes and add them with a button click. How do I access this with code?

Here are a couple python functions I have which I use to copy or subtract segments, adding would be a simple variation:

def setup_segment_editor(segmentationNode=None, masterVolumeNode=None):
  '''Runs standard setup of segment editor widget and segment editor node'''
  if segmentationNode is None:
    # Create segmentation node
    segmentationNode = slicer.vtkMRMLSegmentationNode()
    slicer.mrmlScene.AddNode(segmentationNode)
    segmentationNode.CreateDefaultDisplayNodes()
  segmentEditorWidget = slicer.qMRMLSegmentEditorWidget()
  segmentEditorNode = slicer.vtkMRMLSegmentEditorNode()
  slicer.mrmlScene.AddNode(segmentEditorNode)
  segmentEditorWidget.setMRMLSegmentEditorNode(segmentEditorNode)
  segmentEditorWidget.setSegmentationNode(segmentationNode)
  segmentEditorWidget.setMRMLScene(slicer.mrmlScene)
  if masterVolumeNode:
    segmentEditorWidget.setMasterVolumeNode(masterVolumeNode)
  return segmentEditorWidget, segmentEditorNode, segmentationNode

def copy_segment(newSegmentName, segmentationNode, segmentIDToCopy):
  """ Copy an existing segment into a new segment without overwriting """
  import SegmentEditorEffects
  segmentEditorWidget, segmentEditorNode, segmentationNode = setup_segment_editor(segmentationNode)
  newSegmentID =  segmentationNode.GetSegmentation().AddEmptySegment(newSegmentName)
  segmentEditorNode.SetSelectedSegmentID(newSegmentID)
  segmentEditorWidget.setActiveEffectByName('Logical operators')
  effect = segmentEditorWidget.activeEffect()
  effect.setParameter("Operation", SegmentEditorEffects.LOGICAL_COPY)
  effect.setParameter("ModifierSegmentID", segmentIDToCopy)
  # Masking Settings
  effect.setParameter("BypassMasking",1) # probably not necessary since I adjust masking settings next
  segmentEditorNode.SetMaskMode(segmentEditorNode.PaintAllowedEverywhere)
  segmentEditorNode.MasterVolumeIntensityMaskOff()
  segmentEditorNode.SetOverwriteMode(segmentEditorNode.OverwriteNone)
  # Do the copy
  effect.self().onApply()
  slicer.mrmlScene.RemoveNode(segmentEditorNode)
  return newSegmentID

def subtract_segment(segmentationNode, segmentID, to_subtract_segmentID):
  '''Perform logical subtraction of to_subtract_segmentID from segmentID'''
  import SegmentEditorEffects
  segmentEditorWidget, segmentEditorNode, segmentationNode = setup_segment_editor(segmentationNode)
  segmentEditorNode.SetSelectedSegmentID(segmentID)
  segmentEditorWidget.setActiveEffectByName('Logical operators')
  effect = segmentEditorWidget.activeEffect()
  effect.setParameter("Operation", SegmentEditorEffects.LOGICAL_SUBTRACT)
  effect.setParameter("BypassMasking",1)
  effect.setParameter("ModifierSegmentID",to_subtract_segmentID)
  effect.self().onApply()
  slicer.mrmlScene.RemoveNode(segmentEditorNode)

I used ADD in the operation name but it says
Processing started

Unknown operation: Add

I used ADD but it still dont recognise

The operation for adding is “SegmentEditorEffects.LOGICAL_UNION” rather than LOGICAL_ADD.
