Additional Input Sockets
The item constructor has a separate block of settings for adding new input sockets. They are intended to fill in the fields of the future item.
Also, there are the Push socket that is available when the Send Constant By is PUSH. This socket allows to delay work of the node. Used when some data does not have time to be processed before being used in the current node.
| Name | Data Type | Description |

Application
This is the application from which data will be taken to create a new item. These include item template, item ID, and data from any its field.
Send Constant By
The current function is created to control the node. It has two variants of work:
- PULL
- PUSH
The first one allows the node to work as all others. In turn, the second variant allows the node to delay its operation until certain data is transferred to it.
Fill Empty Fields
If this function is enabled, the data from the fields of the transferred item will be saved in the new item. Otherwise, the created element will be empty, excluding fields from Value Inputs.
Notes
This field is designed to leave some notes in settings of the node.
Value Inputs
The second block of settings is designed to add new input sockets and edit their settings.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Field | allows to select the field for socket; details... |
| Field Name | allows to enter the name of the new socket; details... |
| Edit | allows to edit or delete the socket; details... |
Field
This is the field that is connected with the new socket. It will be filled with the data that is transmitted through the input socket.
Field Name
This is the name of the new input socket. You can enter any name you want.
Edit
The current column contains two buttons for each of the additional sockets. One of them allows you to edit the socket settings, and the other one allows you to delete it.
