The new feature (message counter as status) of debug node in 3.0.0 beta 1 is awesome but we can't reset it to 0.
Maybe with a "msg.reset" input like at delay node or join node... ![]()
Thanks!!

I second this FR ![]()
I would personally avoid msg.reset as it may get caught with a msg.reset intended for another node?
e.g. msg.debugCountReset or msg.countReset might be better ?
Open to debate of course.
And a simple word like msg.clear? ![]()
I'd like to see the status message appear after the counter - best of both worlds!
Maybe if the "message count" would a independent checkbox, we could combinate it with a custom status.
I'm thinking that maybe a case for the use of an underscore e.g. msg._reset (or even double underscore) to indicate some sort of private message only intended for the debug node
Just throwing it in for discussion
Has same issue as using msg.reset - could end up in a namespace type conflict
rather than a msg I would say the click to pause output button should pause the count, and then also clear the count when you re-enable.
(and no to combining with status words as you then get into should it be before words or after words and next it will be variable substitution and ...
)
This was all discussed at great length in the original issue/PR.
I think using the button doesn't give the flexibility needed - it is a manual reset. If you wanted to have a 'count of messages since some event happened', you'd want to be able to programmatically reset it in the flow.
Without bike-shedding it too much, we can add support for msg.resetCount - succinct, to the point, and not going to clash with existing use of msg.reset.
... but it's Friday... and I like bikes.... and sheds... ![]()
But I've never really liked the combination. Maybe due to the school trauma of having my bike lock stolen but the bike left behind! ![]()
I must be living in a sheltered world as I'd never heard of 'bike-shedding' before today.

Well as long as it's not related to tractor sheds we may be ok... (but I'm not going to search google just in case...!!!)
