Hi, Using latest node red 1.1.2 with dashboard 2.23.0 I'm using the multiple selection feature - i.e. inputting to the node a list of options (msg.options). Sometimes when I select one or more values - the msg.payload shows more options ?? Also if I dont select anything - the msg.payload still s…

Thanks! Edited the code as JSON

Using your flow, can you provide a step by step of how to cause the issue?

aaargh... apologies - 2.23.2 will be there in a moment...

Hi and welcome to the forum! You'll need to edit your message to format the flow file JSON properly. Otherwise it cannot be imported due to broken characters.
