Hi,

In my slicer module, I have a text box for entering the patient’s serial number. I wanted to know how I could save this value and reload it as I reload the slicer scene on starting it? Similar to the way we can reload the previously saved fiducial points, as they are saved in json etc.

you can write a python script using a button save and load the parameter into a file.
