addAttr
-ln boneLength
-sn bl
-bt BL
-at "float"
-r 1
-w 0
($parent+"_Bone");

setAttr -l 0 -k 1 ($parent+"_Bone.boneLength") $jntDis;

any idea why two things happen when I run this
1: it doesnt show up under extra attributes, but when you look up what attr are on that item, its there.

and
2: how do I get it to display on the channel box?

You need to make the attribute writable. Either change you addAttr line to -w 1 or just leave the -w out all together.

ok, solved it shortly after postin by taking all the unneeded flags out and adding the -k 1 in so that tis keyable.

Its good to know that was part of what was causing it.
