I have an airloop system connected to 3 zones. I am implementing a Night Cycle, but I want to specify CycleOnControlZone.

When you set the Use Night Cycle option to Cycle on Full System if Heating or Cooling Required, Openstudio will create a 4 OS:ModelObjectList. I think they are created as placeholders as they need to be populated for the forward translator (I have tried leaving all of them blank when using the CycleOnAny option).

How can I specify a single zone for CycleOnControlZone inside Openstudio? The dropdown only refers to the OS:ModelObjectList and all of the OS:ModelObjectList do not refer to anything or are referred by anything else in the .OSM file.

I went to the SDK documentation to find more info about the class. From my understanding, the ModelObjectList object can contain Model class objects. However, it does not look like I can access the vector from the GUI or modify it.

When you export as an .idf you get the list of all of the zones connected to the system. I want to be able to modify this list from the Openstudio GUI.

Oh, this is from long before I understood the SDK, thanks for replying to this! For me, it is a great feeling to look back and see how much I've learned and a lot of it with your help.
