Yes, tried that - and it does. So the problem is re-producable.

I've done a diff on the two .json files. I don't understand what has caused this, but here are the changes below.

Starting with the file that worked, the following changes were made that stopped it working:

**Node removed** :

```auto
		"id": "4fedbfaf.6bb98",
		"type": "tab",
		"label": "Flow 1",
		"disabled": false,
		"info": ""
	},
	{

```

**Node removed** :

> ```
> "id": "3d86e78e.17ff28",
> "type": "tab",
> "label": "Influx & Grafana",
> "disabled": false,
> "info": ""
> 
> ```
> 
> },  
> {

**Node removed** :

```auto
		"id": "b0b4d384.fd376",
		"type": "debug",
		"z": "3d86e78e.17ff28",
		"name": "",
		"active": true,
		"tosidebar": true,
		"console": false,
		"tostatus": false,
		"complete": "true",
		"targetType": "full",
		"x": 310,
		"y": 160,
		"wires": []
	},
	{

```

Within this function node, the _first_ wire was **removed** leaving only one wire:

```auto
	{
		"id": "dd66451b.0f8f88",
		"type": "function",
		"z": "3d86e78e.17ff28",
		"name": "",
		"func": "Sumplevel = msg.payload\nSump = msg.topic\n\nmsg.payload = {\n level: Sumplevel,\n sump: Sump\n \n}\nreturn msg;",
		"outputs": 1,
		"noerr": 0,
		"x": 170,
		"y": 200,
		"wires": [
			[
				"b0b4d384.fd376", **<----- REMOVED**
				"fd1c2137.60bb6"
			]
		]
	},

```

Within this node, the value of x was **changed** from 570 shown below to 410:

```auto
	{
		"id": "fd1c2137.60bb6",
		"type": "influxdb out",
		"z": "3d86e78e.17ff28",
		"influxdb": "9d9ad3f4.49ce7",
		"name": "",
		"measurement": "sump_levels",
		"precision": "",
		"retentionPolicy": "",
		"x": 570,
		"y": 200,
		"wires": []
	}

```

Finally, the following was **added** at the end of the .json file:

```auto
	},
	{
		"id": "33dcee83.60bd72",
		"type": "comment",
		"z": "3d86e78e.17ff28",
		"name": "Sump Levels",
		"info": "",
		"x": 90,
		"y": 160,
		"wires": []

```

I suspect this doesn't provide enough context to work out what caused the problem. Happy to send the whole .json file to a trusted person in private if required. @knolleary @TotallyInformation

For future reference if you post the code/flow segments using the technique detailed here then it will show them faithfully.

The easiest way to do that is to click the 'Preformatted Text' button in the toolbar: [image] Then paste in your code or flow json. On standard US English keyboards, this is on the same key as the ~ character. ``` [{"id":"bbef23cc.4e7f18","type":"inject","x":100, "y": 50, "wires":[[]]}] ``` You can see the quotes remain untouched.

Thanks @Colin, I've updated my previous post!

No need, I found the problem ...

Should I mark that as the solution? 😧

Would that be considered as a `cat scan`?
