Hello,  
I use node-red as UI for TouchDesigner project.  
It would be perfect with the possibility to enter a numerical value in the slider node as to move the thumb to the existing value, avoiding a jump when I move the slider.  
Do you think it is possible?  
Thank you in advance,  
Jacques

Do you want something like that ??

It's not something we support in the built-in widget right now, but I've just opened [UI Slider - Text Field Input · Issue #1063 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/issues/1063) to track it.

Not sure when I'd be able to get to it myself, but if any generous community members are open to contributing - then it can get in sooner!

Hello,  
Thank you for your answers.  
Finaly, I solved the problem. It was necessary to format the arriving OSC message with:  
msg.payload = msg.payload[0]["args"]  
now the slider thumb is following arriving value.
