Input Parameter Cells

Input Parameters are a core, unique part of Hex. Input parameters can be created in the Logic View and then added, optionally, to an App. 
Adding an Input Parameter
Add Cell Menus
Users can add input parameters from the Add Cell menu at the top of the Logic View or from the + option between cells.
Right-Click to Replace
If you highlight and right-click some code, you can use the Add Input Parameter option to replace your code with an input value directly.
Configuring an Input Parameter
All input parameters have two base options, accessible from the configuration menu:
Label: text label displayed above the element, primarily in the App View.
Name: reference name in code. Changing this name will automatically update references to this parameter throughout the Logic View.
Referencing Input Parameters
Inputs are stored as Python variables, e.g., input_1 that can be accessed similar to any others.
Input variables cannot have their values reassigned, e.g., some_param = 123 will not effectively re-assign the parameter to 123.
