ufeMembers (ufem) stringArrayemptyoutputinputstorablehidden
This attribute is used during file save and retrieve only. It stores the Ufe members (as path strings) for non-Maya items at the time the file was saved. This string array is used to restore the Ufe members after the file open. Users normally do not set this attribute. It will be automatically set (with all the Ufe members) when saving.
