ForEach Controller documentation mark Input variable prefix as required although it's not. When left empty, ForEach Controller is still looping through variables _1, _2,...
Do you want to submit a patch to adapt the documentation?
Can the documentation change? In order to support two more options of execution?
Yes. I think we have two options here. First is to change the code to match documentation, but that might lead to breaking test plans. The second one is to document the behaviour and thus make it clear, that it is supported. I don't like breaking old test plans without need and the 'new' behaviour does no harm, so let's change the documentation.
