Yes, NonicaTab supports most input types including Revit categories, model elements, parameters, text fields, numbers, boolean, ...

Input nodes that aren't marked for display will still function in your script but won't be visible to end users in the NonicaTab interface. They'll use their default values or any values you've set in the Dynamo script.
