alt Hacker NewsThe first example on the main page has a formula with two variables being updated from changing one value. The immediate question I have is if I change the output, where does the extra degree of freedom come from on the inputs? Does one stay locked in place? Unclear.
I am a huge fan of the concept though. It's been bugging me for years that my spreadsheet doesn't allow editing text fields after filtering and sorting them down to the subset I want. I have to go all the way back to the mess of unsorted input rows to actually edit them.

100% this. When I reached the end of that page I felt pranked because the obvious question was never answered. How are these cases resolved? Is it possible to fix some inputs and only update others? What if I sometimes want to change input A, and other times I want to update input B? All this should be explained as early as possible.
