Something changed between Houdini 7.0 and 8.0.

In 7.0.550 you could create a Digital Asset that could accept more than 4 inputs. (And you would get a ton of those little indirect input boxs inside your asset.)

In Houdini 8.0.421 creating a Asset with more than 4 inputs causes your asset to have no indirect inputs and trying to opwire doesn't work either.

I made a Asset with 40 inputs, and opwiring a node to the first indirect input gvies the following error,


opwire -i 0 -0 geo1
Indirect index must be between 0 and 39

Ok, after looking a bit more it seems that in Houdini 7 the upper limit on indirect inputs was some very high number (>2000).

In Houdini 8.0 the limit seems to be 31.

Why the change?
