Note

If you want to do a set in the Input From, and you change Input Number, Select Input may not be N/A, and vice versa. If you change Select Input and Input Number is set to N/A, a message will be displayed to notify you that you should change Input Number, and the same happens if you change Input Number and Select Input is N/A. Until both have a valid value, it will not be possible to complete the Input From set.
