Yes, when your robot connects and starts running code, it posts to the Driver's Station (robot init). At that point, the input field can be edited. Once Autonomous Starts (autonomus init), the robot reads the input field and sets up parameters, and runs the appropriate code (autnomous periodic).
In theory, you can do this while tethered in the que (after you have discussed with your alliance members who is doing what, who is starting where). However, in the event of a last minute change (problem with robot on the field), you can change up until the start of Autonomus.
This is most helpful during practice matches when there can be a lot of changes on the field. By the time you get to qualification matches, you have a good idea going onto the field who is doing what.
