Right click a constant node & click. "Promote to Material". Promoting parameters allows you to dynamically adjust values in code.

A screenshot of Reality Composer Pro showing you how to promote a constant.

To promote a parameter to a promoted input, select the material and in the Shader Graph right click the constant node and select "Promote to Material."

This will cause the node to shift in color from purple to blue, indicating that it is a promoted input.
