Wire - Instancing headaches!

I'm loving wire but am i missing something when it comes to Instances?

Every time i change the instance amount things unpatch themselves and i have to spend the next 5 mins working out where in the chain the number hasn't updated and where it's broken.

Can i link this number to an exposed INT?

This feels way more complicated than it needs to be for no good reason.

Hi, Please join us on Slack.
This question has been asked several times there already :)
What you're after is called Dynamic Instancing and is not a feature, Yet.
Instancing is something that is currently set at the load of the patch, so if that number is changed, it will break any connection that is also listening for a set instance count. The ONLY exception I have found so far is Slices, Slices can drive their own instance count, but for anything else, right now, you'll need to hard code a set instance count and use only that. I'm hoping Dynamic Instancing will be on the the first updates we will get for Wire, but nobody really has a eta on it yet.

The slack link seems to be broken. Have you got a working one?
