I’m seeing some strange behaviour when using context on a config node.. If I set a value in node context from custom configuration node using: this.context().set("s", "Hello") Then I can read the value back using this.context().get("s") as expected. But if I redeploy the flows, then this.context(…

I believe it is. this.context() refers to the 'instance' context of the Node (at least for a config node) if a Config Node is redeployed, the instance is destroyed and recreated, during deploy. The argument here, is why this.context survives for None Node Configs - so I see why its been asked @…

Not an area i have delved into. What I will say is it is very likely this is unnecessary. When a (config) node is instantiated and has its own this so things to store can be stored in this.that or this.other. [image] Thomassorensen: But if I redeploy the flows, then this.context().get("s") wil…

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense, but it just seemed inconsistent/odd that this works for "non config" nodes and global context, but not for config nodes. Is there another way for me to store a value between redeploys? (other than storing in global context or asking all users to setup a persi…

[image] Thomassorensen: Is there another way for me to store a value between redeploys? (other than storing in global context or asking all users to setup a persistent context store). You could implement your own "store" by updating a file from within your node's runtime.

Thats not a bad idea, that is probably the way I need to go, but it still seems like a bug that it's not consistent with how normal node context works. [image] Node Context does not reset on redeploy General No. Deploying a change does not reset context. You could create…
