In `settings.js` you will find: `- debugMaxLength` set it to a longer length and restart node-red.

@bakman2 suggestion is the "easiest" way
HOWEVER, this WILL slow Node-RED down and I do NOT recommend increasing the `debugMaxLength`
Instead, just change the `debug` node to a `file` node and write the data to file - where you can watch it change in real time in a decent editor (like VS CODE)

Or send the message to console and copy there. Or you can install the [live debug](https://flows3.nodered.org/flow/b8bf66d114af8eac4afd5d288f3f4a72) subflow and send the message to another browser tab

All supposes was Ok., but my actual need was only this time quickly and easily copy values.
I tested bakman2 wink, but I lost data [1000 … 3843]..
Good luck not valuable data logging.
Steve-Mcl file wink I have used as well E1cid consolo.log wink. First time my data logging was over 3000 objects, so now I know that 1000 length limit, and I will test also live debugging soon.
Thanks to everyone

Keep in mind that this is used for 'debugging', not logging. Actually you are looking at context.
If you want to get the values use another mechanism, eg. a database.
