Hi,there!

I got two issues while follow these tutorial videos of Creating Houdini Digital Assets tut.
A minor and a major one.

My Install:
Houdini Apprentice with HOUDINI ENGINE

version/build:
houdini-13.0.509-win32-vc9.

So, the minor one is:

We can use expressions in parameter fields all over Houdini.
But when I was about to create the interface of the HDA using:

Edit Operator Type Properties -> Parameters (tab) -> Parameter Description -> Parameter (tab) -> Interface Options -> Range (toggle) -> range fields

I tried to put an expression to dynamically change the ranges (for the thickness of the object) as the size of the object alter.
But I cannot even type letters (numbers were ok) into the fields.

Is it normal or is it a bug?
If it is normal, could someone explain the reasons and/or a workaround.


The major one:

Ordered Menu

The tut says if I want only a few elements from the list of a menu, just simply delete the unwanted ones.
But for me it happens when I delete 3 elements (the 1st,3rd,4th) from a 5 element ordered menu,
although we can see and choose only the 2nd and 5th elements of the original menu from the drop down menu of the created interface, so it looks okey,
but the result on the view port and the source node parameter pane also shows that in reality the 1st and 2nd elements are activated.
(in case I was not clear I attached two pics.)

What did I wrong?


Thanks for your help,
