Setting a value to an MFnGenericAttribute plug

[MFong-sms]

I am writing some USD importing code and need to import a string value into an MFnGenericAttribute that is set to accept string data. However, the normal MPlug::setValue( ) call results in a crash in Maya. I also tried using the pxr::UsdMayaReadUtil::SetMayaAttr( ) but it logs an error that it cannot set the string value to the specified plug. I googled for setting values to MFnGenericAttributes but there wasn't anything that showed how it is done.
Examples of how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, hope all is well.

What @MFong-sms brought up here relates to our current convertor code that doesn't handle kGenericAttribute types:

We are wondering how one could handle MFnData::kAny type?

Cheers
