Hey guys,

Is there a way to feed the ui dashboard slider node an integer for the maximum value? My idea is to take the length of an array and feed this as the maximum of the slider node. Something like:

"msg.ui\_slider.max = array.length;"

and this would dynamically control the slider node's maximum value.
