Reuse input slots

[codingisfun2831t]

So lets say I have this input slot for a “point” data structure (pretty clever, to say the least):

(you can either input x or y directly, or drop a coordinate list into the three dots)

And I want to reuse this input slot, in other blocks (like a graphics library!). For each time I would like to use it, I have to recreate the slot over again in that little gear menu, and no one wants to do that!
What I’m suggesting is a way to reuse these input slots. I’m not asking for much, I really just want to be able to export it and then import the slot whenever I want. I’m not asking for a whole “custom input slot” function, I just dont want to waste time going through that menu!

I think you could create a custom block to create the slot whenever you want. I’ll see what can be done.

I think you could create a custom block to create the slot whenever you want.

As in creating a custom block with the slot, and then duplicating that to easily get the slot into a new block?

[ego-lay_atman-bay]

No, they mean creating a custom block that will add the slot. Something like this

add point slot to ({block} @>) :: control

Yes。

For trivial case, you may export slot descriptor with

and recreate

to get

For complex scenario you may get the descriptors of the new blok and merge the source.
