How can I turn a field name into a payload?

I have a LoraWan node that sends GPS coordinates via TTN to Cayenne. I want to use the same payload also in Node-red but to do so I need to change the field names latitude and longitude to lat and lon.

Hello,  
you can use a change node to move values from one msg property to another.  
So use a change node that has something like this:
