How can I set GS20 drive inputs to do nothing AND still be reported over Ethernet/IP?

GS23 with Ethernet/IP comms card reports status of the digital inputs in word 8. Works just fine as long as I have those inputs assigned to something multi-spd ref or jog or anything else. But as soon as I set the inputs to 0 (no function) their bits no longer change in word 8. There are no options for 2.01-2.xx which are convenient for me to set up. I want the drive's digital inputs to be just generic use, only meaningful to the PLC that the drive is connected to. Is there an option or solution that I am missing?

    It's not part of the assembly instance but you could read the state of the inputs via explicit message.

      YAY! That works! Thank you!

       

      It would be cool if a future firmware rev for these drives had this working in the assembly instance.
