In Format Study → Inputs tab click the input value.
Click the ... button to select the indicator to be used as an input value.
Select the required indicator and click OK.
Select the plot value to be used as an input value.
Click OK.

The line in the input field is

Indicator: "Name of indicator" plotN | Input_Name = Input_Value

where:

Indicator - keyword. It is an obligatory value.

Name of indicator - string value (in quotes) representing. It is an obligatory value.
plotN - plot number is to be used for calculations. Example - plot1, plot2 etc. Is optional parameter. If not specified, the plot with the smaller number is used.
| - delimiter.
Input_name = Input_Value - setting certain value for a certain input. Is optional parameter.
