When a block has been developed that includes the option of multiple input slots, is there a way to detect (via script) how many input slots a user may have created?
Yes. I've already made an algorithm that can detect that!
2 is the number of inputs
3 is the number of inputs
The data from the variadic input is returned as a list so you can just find the length of the variable returned
Of course ... that's fantastic. (Thank you!)
Will not work if you put an input list...
It will work because with an input list, it makes each item of the list be an input
folks, Glen is asking how to find out inside the block definition how many values a user has entered, and Simon is giving the perfectly straightforward answer: It's the length of the input list. This is - for once - not about your infatuation about syntax analysis
