# ignoresInput

A Boolean value that indicates whether the action acts upon its input or the input is ignored.

```
var ignoresInput: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if the action acts upon its input, otherwise <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.

Many actions act upon their input, but an action may merely pass on its input or, rarely, ignore it.
