I believe the article is referring to the Expression node at the Process level, found in the Utilities category. That one does indeed have the Inputs tab. You might be seeing the Expression node at the Data Job level, which does not have the Inputs tab, as shown in your pic. I also went straight to this node at the Data level to check, and then remembered the other Expression node at the higher, Process level. See if this answers your question.
