With JSONata, am I able to refer to the node itself? See image. I would like the JSONata expression to result in global.foobar. Currently, it is taking the information of the previous payload (msg.data.entity_id), which I do not need.
No. JSONata expressions do not have access to node properties. They can only access msg properties.
Not doubting what you're saying, but I did find how to do it. This was able to refer to the node itself.
$globalContext($substringAfter($entity().entity_id,"."))
Is your node-red the HA addon ?
I ask as the $entity() appears to be jsonata function added by HA
It is, yea. Ah gotcha, so not native to NR, but rather added by HA.
