When I drag a new function node on the work space it is labeled "function 2". Why does it have an index '2' ? [afbeelding]

One way to find out. Press ctrl-f then enter function 1

Presumably you already have a function node on your workspace? And just checking, you get function 3 if you drop another?

There are several function nodes on my other tabs but I created a new tab. The first function node I drop on the (blank) workspace is labeled as '2'. Consecutive fuction nodes are labeled '3' , '4' etc. Is there a 'hidden' function somewhere ?

There was a 'function 1' on one of the other tabs. It was function that I did not yet rename. After renaming it, a new function (on a new tab) now starts with index 1. Mystery solved ! Thanks for your help.
