Details

It depends on the Action setting which addresses can be used. For most objects that let you specify an Address (Address property), you can also specify the Action and an optional Value.

If an address has already been specified, it is shown in the large text box. Click once on it to select it (there might be more addresses in the text). After selecting it, the selector columns are filled with other possibilities, but highlighting the object the address refers to.

In the text box at the bottom, addresses (and other text, if allowed for the action) can also be typed by hand. The address colors green if it is recognized; it colors red if the address is unknown.
