Hi
I have below below
DB2 Button --\> Function Node --\> Sends message to DB2 Template Node.
One of the attributes on msg changes based on Button.
Not the problem - if the attribute is deleted msg - yet Template node sees as attribute defines.
Step 1 -
Send msg with msg.x = ABC
Template node gets it.
when i do alert(this.msg.x) in template node i see ABC
Step 2 -
delete msg.x or set msg.x = undefined.
Template node gets it.
when i do alert(this.msg.x) in template node i still see ABC
I am not clear how it works.

Cancelling this as it was development issue.
