CREOSON and Encoded notes.

[GM_4953125]

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to extract dimensions from Creo drawings, however I'm running into issues with encoded notes.
Is there a way to extract encoded notes using CREOSON
the note circled below is encoded:  (Note_44)

When i try to extract it, I get a long string and value expanded as NaN

this is my code:
note_list = Client.note_list(get_expanded=True)
note_list_df = pd.DataFrame(note_list)
note_list_df = note_list_df.drop(columns=["location"])

It appears I have to decode the value first:

base64.b64decode(value).decode('utf-8')

the decoded value will in in non-expanded form.

If the note contains variables I still need extract extract them from the model.
