Description

Today the only way of knowing if a processor accepts input connection is either by trying it on the UI or looking at the processor code.

@InputRequirement(Requirement.INPUT_FORBIDDEN)
or
@InputRequirement(Requirement.INPUT_REQUIRED)

It would help a DFM if there is at least some documentation on this either under usage link or a tag .... to have alternative ways of knowing proactively.
