Missing circular/recycling connections #58

Open Eheran1 opened 1 year ago

Eheran1 commented 1 year ago

Starting with the default input and changing "Budget [450] Taxes" to "Budget [450] Wages" does not create a circular return-stream from "Budget" to "Wages" but instead deletes the input and reverts to the default input. No error message. Any input there might have been is replaced by the default. Luckily the input is not lost at that point, one can "go back" in the browser.

Such recycle streams are a very common thing, so I was confused when I was unable to find any reference and when it didnt work the way I would expect it to.

Thanks for this nice tool.

Issue #6 is about adding this capability; currently the tool doesn't support cycles.

You're right that the failure mode should not just be a reset/reload of the page. I'll investigate why that's happening and see what I can do about it.
