The help link in Dynamo tasks refers users to dynamobim.org - it would be really useful to be able to provide a custom help link (we document each script in a wiki and I would assume some other firms do that as well). Suggestion: If a dynamo definition contains a Watch node that has been renamed to e.g. "HelpURL" use the URL from that Watch node as a help link.
I think the reason why a String Input would work better is that we don't actually execute the script in order to build the configuration for it - we just read the XML/Json... so there's no "runtime" value in the Watch side of things. So we need it to be a node that stores a value statically.
I find a Watch node more versatile in this case since it would allow for generating the URL in the script (e.g. base URL + script identifier). We currently build our help URLs in Dynamo scripts with a node that has an input for the script identifier while the base URL is hard-coded in the node. Don't have particularly strong feelings about Watch vs. String Input, though. There's always Notepad++ to batch-replace the base URL in case it changes. ;-)
Andreas,
I like the idea of this, and would like to see if I can sneak this in to 2020.
Does a Watch Node make more sense to you than just a String Input or something like that, since you can't put a value into a Watch node directly?
