HumanoidDescription custom body part

Title, is there a way to create custom body parts for HumanoidDescriptions? I’ve tried looking through the forums, and the docs and can’t seem to find anything. There’s nothing on youtube or anything else either, and in my testing when trying to insert a catalog one, uploading as a model, and using that ID it doesn’t work either.

I truly have no clue where to even start on this, or if it’s even possible.

This is all using ApplyDescription.

I should probably add, I don’t wanna use the ReplaceBodyPartR15 as it’s proven to be extremely unreliable and buggy.

I found this; Release Notes for 453 - #7 by Wsly

This pretty much serves exactly what I need, if I understand it correctly. It would allow us to use alternative models as bodyparts inside HumanoidDescriptions, when set to ClientOnly.

Does anyone have anymore information on this? As when currently testing it:

It doesn’t appear to be working at all, but I may just be creating the model wrong. I genuinely have no idea how, and there isn’t any resource for it I can find. The current method is just a duplicate of how I received the roblox-made mesh body parts when inserting them (off the ids you’d use for the HumanoidDescription.)

Seems I got some of it working, and the API is live on the docs:
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Humanoid/ApplyDescription
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/enum/AssetTypeVerification

My current issue, is I took and saved the one model Roblox uses for their torso, and uploaded that as a model and I get this current issue:

As for code, I just set it inside the HumanoidDescription and apply that:

Hey, thanks for flagging the lack of documentation around this issue - I’ve just sent the request to the documentation team, and they’ll get to it when they can.
