Convert to Dynamic Input

It's not uncommon to start out with an InputData control, and then 2/3 of the way through you realise that you need to change this to a dynamic input.

Could we add the capability to right-click on an inputData; and convert to Dynamic Input (just like you can on a TextInput to change it to a Macro Input)?

Would love this functionality to right click on an Input Tool to convert it into a Dynamic Input. Today it's a bit manual to do what seems like it could be pretty straight forward. This would be very nice!
