Since when the external variables do not work?

Hello everyone, Less than 40 days ago I made an indicator, in mql5 and inside the input parameters I can put external variables (extern int, extern...
Thank you, @honest_knave. Yes I am using externs.
When I first coded up the MT5 version of an MT4 EA, I originally used 'input' but switched to using 'extern' because with extern you could change the values (as you know input is read only).
I was trying to keep the code similar in both MT4/MT5, so I think I'll switch my MT4 program to using input as well ;)

Sometime in the last couple of months, an update to MetaEditor (now version 1562) has caused an issue with compiling MQL5 EAs.
The EA compiles OK but when dropping the EA on a chart in MT5, the Inputs Tab is not visible, only Common and Dependencies. When I revert to an older MetaEditor instance (version 1526) which luckily I haven't started for a while and therefore hasn't auto-updated, the same code compiles and the Inputs tab is visible again.
Is there an issue or has something been deprecated that I didn't know about?
