Hi everyone,
I would like to have the possibility to enable confirmation when closing inputs, so that an input is not closed by mistake when clicking close.
An example of this confirmation when closing an input, would be the confirmation when deleting a file in Windows, before going to the recycle bin.
Reason: Many automations I've created depend exclusively on inputs, when deleting one of them by mistake, the functions and scripts stop working because the order of inputs change.

in scripts/functions it's a good practise to reference the input by its name instead of the number (or by its key number)

ALso there is a lock button that will prevent you from unwanted input closings !
Ther is also a undo options if one hasn't taken the available precautions

Maybe take a close look at the Options tab in the Settings...

This is exactly what I was looking for.
I'm going to reference the inputs by its name instead of the number.
Thanks for the tips.

Use the key, not the name because the name can be changed without changing the input number, the number can be changed without changing the name but the key never changes unless you "Close" the input and add it back again.
