Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Perhaps this can be utilized in the ApiSandbox somehow.

Inputs are already generated with parameter type in mind, but normally integer *limit parameters may accept "max" in addition to integers, for example. Date picker for appropriate fields makes sense, of course.
