Expression in slider request

Would it be possible to have a switch for sliders (in right click edit menu) to not display the result of an expression entered into it on the slider, but instead display the original input settings?

That would make it possible to create a slider that shows from 0 to 360 to the user and put Rad(x) in as an expression so that it outputs in radians... Or x/2 so that you input diameter, but it outputs radius...

You've probably already had this request, it's certainly not mission critical, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I guess the slider might also need a star to indicate that there is an expression in there that is not visible to the user...

Well, I implemented a very basic backsolver for numeric expressions with a single variable so if you have a slider with an expression you can set the value by typing it in the double-click box. It only works well for linearish expressions, but I imagine that covers the majority of sliders.

In the meantime I use the [Evaluate] expression component combined with a slider.

I think it's a good idea too.

Hello.
Excuse me, whether assocative design is a plugin?,
That must be installed on the grasshopper,
Whether is just the name of the plug-associative design?
Or is under an other plugin?
Thank you.
