Their datatypes of their storage variables are actually different, and as 
you’ve noticed, the expression parser won’t let you link two different knob 
types without some work done under the hood. The ChannelMask knob on the Radial 
node is a legacy knob type that, according to the NDK docs, is kept around for 
Nuke 4 backwards-compatibility.

It may be worth putting in a support request to either support links between 
various Channel-type knobs, or to have the nodes using ChannelMask knobs 
restructured to use the newer Channel knobs.

Subject: [Nuke-python] link error between 'same' type RGBA channels

Hi, i got 2 nodes : radial and merge nodes. So i want to link the radial.color 
to merge.Achannels , the problem it will give error: wrong type of knob. why ? 
i check both of them, yes they have different knob type of knobs :



but , i think they just got the same type of data , they are just store the 
same 'RGBA' data type. But why they can't link each other ? They're suppose to 
be able to do that , right? anyway i can force them to link? any workaround ?

Thanx
