Setting custom parameters to null vs empty is confusing

[shellderp]

oh yeah... I ran into this before. it is tricky..

the only other idea I had was to have only nonnullable parameter boxes visible at the start (we'd need to add a "required" flag ..) and a "add" button to add nullable parameters, that would add the input field and a blank one would be emptystring, to null it out you just click x to remove it

I'm ok with a null checkbox too

I sort-of like the idea of telling Backfila when a parameter is required. Although having something be required and then accepting empty string might not be enough to fix confusion? Maybe it is.

I guess that add button would contain the remaining set of parameters.

All this UI dev, not sure my brain can handle it anymore 😛
