I am trying to use a numeric input on the dashboard and am wanting to programatically change the range.
I can see in the numeric properties where you can set the min and max. I tried to use a variable in the max field but it didn't like that. Has anyone had any success doing this?
so I would set the ui_numeric.max = some_variable? There is no where in the actual dashboard node properties ui numeric to place code so I am guessing I would have to do this elsewhere like perhaps in a function node? I named the ui_numeric "height_input" and tried to set height_input.max = variable in a function however I am getting an error as the function does not know what "height_input.max" is.
Using @Steve-Mcl link above I was able to write this flow.

I would presume that the only items that can be changed are those described in the linked document. But I hasten to add, I am no expert! I didn't know you could do this until reading this thread.
You might want to heed the following note...
Note: It is still recommended that nodes are configured via the editor in order to preset the default values.
I imported your flow but still can't manage to dynamically set the max. The issue is that the "max" value comes from a flow variable. I tried changing { "min":10, "max":10 } to { "min":10, "max":flow.get('max_range') } but it throws an error.
