# SetUnionControlNetType - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The SetUnionControlNetType node lets you choose which control type a control network uses.

The SetUnionControlNetType node lets you choose which control type a control network uses. It takes an existing control network and creates a modified copy with the selected control type, leaving the original control network unchanged. When "auto" is selected, the stored control type is cleared so the type can be detected automatically.

## Inputs

| Parameter     | Description                                                                                                                                                       | Data Type    | Required | Range                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `control_net` | The control network to modify with a new type setting                                                                                                             | CONTROL\_NET | Yes      | -                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| `type`        | The control network type to apply. Use "auto" for automatic type detection or select a specific control network type from the available options (default: "auto") | COMBO        | Yes      | `"auto"`<br />`"openpose"`<br />`"depth"`<br />`"hed/pidi/softedge"`<br />`"canny"`<br />`"scribble"`<br />`"seg"`<br />`"tile"`<br />`"inpaint"`<br />`"lineart"`<br />`"blur"`<br />`"mlsd"`<br />`"normalbae"`<br />`"mask"` |

When `type` is set to `"auto"`, the node clears the stored control type so the type can be detected automatically. When a specific type is selected, the node stores the matching control type in the copied control network.

## Outputs

| Output Name   | Description                                                          | Data Type    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
| `control_net` | The modified control network with the specified type setting applied | CONTROL\_NET |
