I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'data loaded to a computer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'popular place' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'in'+'put'='INPUT'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for input that I've seen before include "Data contributed" , "Energy" , "Person's contribution (to a project)" , "supply" , "Contribution of work or information" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
