I am developing a node that is configured with a config node. In the .js file, I can access the config node using `RED.nodes.getNode(n.config);`. How can I access the config node from the HTML?
My config node defines two fields `keyName` and `valueName`. In the actual node, I have a select field with the following two options:
```auto
```
I would like to change the text for these options based on the `keyName` and `valueName` properties of the currently selected config node.
I think the best way for doing so (but please correct me if I'm wrong) would be to have something like the following in the `oneditprepare` function:
```auto
$("#node-input-config").change(function() {
// The following doesn't work on HTML, how can I get the config node in HTML?
var config = RED.nodes.getNode($(this).val());
$('#node-input-select option[value="key"]').text(config.keyName);
$('#node-input-select option[value="value"]').text(config.valueName);
});
$("#node-input-config").change();
```

There is a slight inconsistency between the runtime and editor's apis here.
Use `RED.nodes.node(...)` in the editor.
Remember to handle the case where a user has not yet added a config node so there is no such node.

Hey Guys,
Is there any way to access the runtime of config JS file. For an example I have created a connection to a cloud server inside the config node's JS file. I can access this in other JS files using `RED.nodes.getNode`. But in the HTML, I only can get the text box values using `RED.nodes.node`. Is there any way to access the JS runtime ? or do I have to handle these connections separately
