Well, that's a bit counter-intuitive particularly since you have to specify the port you want to listen on and ideally an id for the input. If I'm specifying that deferiental information, surely the pipeline could respect it ☹

Thanks for clearing up my confusion since it's not mentioned in the docs that clearly. 🙂
