Issue
When my pipeline is paused for input (this could be for quite some time such as days/weeks), it still shows on the main screen that an executor is taken up and that it’s active. I would prefer, if possible, that only my pipeline stage view is showing the waiting for input and that the common page executor isn’t displayed, or even taken up.
Resolution
If you put input inside a node block it will keep the executor live. Most use cases want it outside any node block, so you release the executor while waiting.
