Documentation: 'non-standard' programmatic control #30

Closed drmibell closed 6 years ago

drmibell commented 6 years ago

After some discussion, it seems to be the consensus of the principal NR developers [https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/399] that programmatic inputs should not override parameters set in the editor configuration dialog. The schedex node is clearly a case where an exception needs to be made. With this in mind, I think the README.md should be changed slightly in two ways. First, the entire section on Programmatic Control should be introduced with a warning that both the property-based and string-based specifications are overrides that violate the usual behavior. Second, the section on string-based control should remove the word "override" in order to avoid giving the impression that only certain messages will override values set in the dialog.
