Am I missing something or do I have to call the `.toInput()` method on each parameter I pass to an Input object type?

```val input = CreateEnvelopeInput(
            name = "Name".toInput(),
            balance = 100000.toInput(),
            color = "0fc7a0".toInput(),
            ...
)```

I’ve opted for `Input.optional("Name")` although we actually use `val`’s in the code rather than hardcoded values.

There's no real alternative as we need to model `absent` vs `null` input fields. The only solution would be to make these input fields non null in the schema

In most backends, `null` will delete from the db whereas `absent` will leave untouched

Oh I see. So this isn't the case if the fields are required. I was just confused because I didn't see the `.toInput()` in some of the examples I was looking at.
