[QGIS-Developer] Run processing model on selected features only

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Mathieu, 

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately I cannot use "Feature Source"
as an input in my model. 

Matthias told me that I have to use "Vector layer" as an input, because
my model relies on certain features that aren't available on "feature
source" inputs. I need to use refactor fields in a model with
expressions support for relation_aggregates and represent_value (which
requires information on widget configuration).  

Is there any chance this checkbox could also be introduced for "Vector
layer" inputs? Should I open an issue? 

------------------- 

I also find it quite confusing that the inputs come with zero
documentation. I think for probably 99% of the users who are not devs it
isn't obvious when to use which input. Could we introduce a very simple
tooltip that explains with 1 or 2 sentences what the input implies -
esp. for the "Vector layer" vs. "Feature Source" vs. "Layer field" ? 

Thanks, 

Andreas
