If i made some changes in my flow or if my Pi reboots the values i have stored in context resets. For example, if i have a variable that stores nbr of days and it increase by +1 every day if my Pi was to loose power or i wanted to make a change i the flow that value would reset. Is there a way i could save this value so it does not reset?

Have read here:

> **[Working with context : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context)**

  
especially scroll down to the section about different context stores which is exactly about this.  
You have to enable file based context storage as described there.
