The current Online Help for Pro for the Surface Function - Contour Function lacks proper parameter definitions.

There is an Adaptive Smoothing parameter. The !help states:

Please be so kind as to include minimum and maximum values for parameters like these.  

It is not a great experience for users to ping-pong values into the tool to figure out what the range is.  

Did the same team that wrote the hardware spec for Pro get a new project to write the Help?
Words like lower, more, less, etc  are not helpful in a numeric parameter definition when the parameter range is not explicitly stated.

Hello @RTPL_AU , I assume you are looking at this Help page.

https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/analysis/raster-functions/contour-function.htm

If you scroll to the end you can select "Feedback on this topic" and suggest your improvements there.

Dear @ChrisUnderwood 

There is no way for a user to track what happens to that feedback nor can other users see and/or comment on the same. 

How many places do Esri want us to waste time at to fix obvious issues for it? 

We have Questions, Ideas, the feedback areas you mention, and our local region locked monopoly resellers that are also technical solution providers in competition with some of those they sell to?

Hello @RTPL_AU , I gave some Feedback a couple of weeks ago. I got an initial acknowledgement very quickly, then a couple of weeks later, a more detailed response to what I had suggested.
