The idea is that a tool may as default place parameters in the group ``Parameters'' in the tab ``General'',
but add e.g., variables with \lstinline!showStartAttribute=true! to another group.
If \lstinline!enable = false!, the input field may
be disabled and no input can be given. If \lstinline!showStartAttribute = true! the dialog should allow the user to

The \lstinline!showStartAttribute = true! is primarily intended for non-parameter values and avoids introducing
