• Slider Maximum: The maximum value of the slider.
• Slider Step: The step size of the slider.
• Buffer Input: If the input Value should be buffered before applying to the variable (useful when performing a lot of calulations with the variable value).

Datepicker

Select a Date and set the variable value to the selected date. You can select the date format by setting the Date Format setting. This format is used to parse the date string entered by the user by default.

The Date format allows for the following characters:

Format string
yyyy	Year e.g. 2022
yy	Year, short e.g. 22 or 2022
MM	Month e.g. 02
M	Month, short e.g. 2 or 02
dd	Day e.g. 01
d	Day, short e.g. 1 or 01
hh	Hours e.g. 12
h	Hours, short e.g. 12
mm	Minutes e.g. 29
m	Minutes, short e.g. 29
ss	Seconds e.g. 38
s	Seconds, short e.g. 38

The short version always allows for a date with more digits than expressed in the format: 12 with a format of h will still be 12 but 01 with a format of h will be 1. All examples refer to 01.02.2022 12:29:38 (in words first day in february 2022 12 hours 29 minutes and 38 seconds ).

The Parse any Date setting allows you to parse a lot of formats. Either the Year or the Day has to be the first part of the date part. MM.dd.yyyy will not be interpreted correctly in most cases because the month is interpreted as the day (dd.MM.yyyy).
