Am I correct in saying the only user input interfaces are Dropdown Select, Push Button, Toggle, Value Sequence.
I am looking for numeric input, text input and slider.

Yes & no. You can click on a table cell and you can edit a properties table, e.g. for key/value config stuff. I have a text field ready for when I manage to get the next (small) update released in the coming days. Numeric input would be pretty easy. I'll leave a slider for someone else to implement ;cause I hate them and wouldn't be able to create something decent...

I threw in a number field. It's not going to win any contests but it was a trivial change from the text field and is a decent starting point.
Update: while I'm at it might as well use Vuetify's slider component...

New FlexDash release!
Changes:

- Fixed spurious ripple on click in Panels
- TextView widget now supports line wrap and auto-scroll to bottom
- Fixed issue where TimePlot sometimes doesn't show plot when loading page
- Added text field, number field, and slider widgets
5 Nov 11:11:21 - [info] Node-RED FlexDash plugin version 0.4.109

5 Nov 11:11:24 - [info] FlexDash UI version 0.4.63
To upgrade: update @flexdash/node-red-fd-corewidgets
Next steps: probably supporting per-browser state (using the msg._flexdash_socket) and a simple login/auth system.

I'm not seeing them?
Are they separate widgets, or a config in an existing widget.
I've restarted mode-RED & refreshed my browser.
alpha v0.4.63
@flexdash/node-red-fd-corewidgets - 0.4.49
@flexdash/node-red-flexdash - 0.4.109

I forgot to double-check that the new widgets show up in the release 
And sure enough, I messed-up the release order...
Please give node-red-fd-corewidgets v0.4.50 a shot.
Thanks, they are there now 
Could I ask what the rationale was to add the number field widget?
It's usage seems to duplicate the stat widget, but does not provide - units, thresholds, chip mode, iso prefix or precision like the stat widget, and the text size doesn't match the other nodes.
I suppose the same question applies for the usage of the Text field & the Label widget

Great, that were fast

Number field and text field are input fields. Maybe I should have instead added an "allow editing" option to stat/label? Didn't think of that, but open to suggestions.

Adding "allow editing" option to stat/label and removing the other two widgets gets my vote!

All 3 new widgets just are 'unknown'
Node-RED version: v3.0.2
Node.js version: v16.18.0
Linux 5.15.32-v8+ arm64 LE
Node-RED FD Core Widgets version 0.4.50
Have you also updated @flexdash/node-red-flexdash ?
I had to also update that node as well.
EDIT - When I say "I had to", my 'Manage Palette' still showed the previous version, and invited an update (maybe was caused by the browser cache?)

I have done that now as well but still 'unknown widget'
Reload your browser showing your dashboard? It should say "alpha v0.4.63" in the top-right corner.

Anyone any idea how to zoom into a flexdash chart on a small mobile device (Android phone)?
On a laptop, any part of the chart can be zoomed into by click-dragging, but on a mobile device 'pinching' magnifies the chart, but does not zoom into the detail.

In the stat node props, the Iso prefix is set to false
But... in the dashboard, instead of seeing 0.5, I see 500µ
A bug?

Also.. (sorry @tve) but I've added a new container recently to display weather data, and although the stat & sparkline widgets display OK, below them I have 2 time plot widgets that display forecast data. However, sometimes they display OK, and at other times they are not displayed at all.
If I look at my browser console, I see the following error;
Error: uPlot chart created too early
Looking at the same dashboard on my phone, I see both charts OK.
[EDIT 25/11/22] Still getting the Error: uPlot chart created too early error, but since restarting node-RED, the charts have continued to display correctly.

Hi Thorsten @tve, we haven't heard from you for a while, and just wondering if you are still actively developing flexdash for node-RED, or taking a well earned break.
It would be good to know what your future plans are for flexdash, so that I (and others) can plan ahead with our own systems.
Regardless of the future, it's been great following flexdash's progression, which for me started more than a year ago, with your first alpha version, and has led to me now having a functional flexdash dashboard.
