Description

When working through the conversion doc, needing to set all widget procedures to a single code procedure made me wonder about sliders. In HubNet Web authoring, slider min/max fields allow input of reporters, but when applying the change an error occurs and the model appears to drop out of editing mode. Trying to test the model results in more errors.

Research direction

Reproduce this in HubNet Web authoring by entering a reporter rather than a number literal in a slider's min or max field, then apply the change. Trace the conversion path referenced by the conversion doc and verify that applying the change keeps the model in editing mode and allows it to be tested without further errors.
