Hello everyone. I have the following issue. I am trying to set a dynamic lable for one of my gauges and I have read the documentation about it stating that as long as I send msg.ui\_update.title with a value pair the title of the gauge will be dynamically updated. I have setup an inject node to test that out:

, but unfortunatelly it doesn't seem to work. This is the configuration of my gauge:

The flow is just straightforward inject node connected to the gauge itself.

I am not at my computer at the moment, but isn't it label rather than title?

Yes, that could do with changing to avoid confusion 😵

This is inconsistent with other nodes, which use `msg.ui_update.label`. Perhaps it is just a documentation error. I have submitted an issue. [Inconsistent use of msg.ui\_update.title to update the label for gauge node, msg.ui\_update.label is used for other nodes. · Issue #1284 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/issues/1284)

I see. So it will be released soon, but not there yet. My mind was bugging for hours trying to make it work after even updating the dashboard to the latest version. Thanks!

Yes, I agree, it's actually an inheritance from Dashboard 1.0 which used `title`, rather than `label`. We'll support this request for sure.
