Standard behavior

What is the default behavior and why does it exist?

The default behavior is used to adapt the input of a block to the functionality of the block. So the user does not have to take care if the block expects a single value or a list and does not have to add a new block that implements the corresponding different functionality. This means that the user can also specify a list for a block that only expects a single value and will not receive an error.

How does the default behavior work

The default behavior is implemented by many blocks and ensures that a list of the requested input can be processed without error. It does this by executing the appropriate node for each element of the list and merging the individual results into a new list.

standard behavior of graph interpretation

For advanced users: what is the standard behavior, what is it good for? when is it used and how can I tell that it is used or cannot be used at the corresponding node. (Naming of inputs)
