Hi,

I am developing a Custom Node and I want to have 2 outputs. Is this possible?  
I've tried, but have not luck..

Many thanks.

Hi @stamer

yes it is possible. There is nothing special about the core nodes that allow them to have multiple outputs and other nodes not to.

What exactly have you tried?

Yes it is possible...

### Snippet from [https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/first-node](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/first-node) (modified)

```auto
    RED.nodes.registerType('lower-case',{
        category: 'function',
        color: '#a6bbcf',
        defaults: {
            name: {value:""}
        },
        inputs:1,
        outputs:2, // << #### set no of outputs here ####
        icon: "file.png",
        label: function() {
            return this.name||"lower-case";
        }
    });
