Are others thinking this would be useful? It's a pretty trivial node and like @TotallyInformation I would regard it as another input node - in exactly the same that hue magick works (which is what I am trying to replicate).  
The Change node would work but it's more fiddly to use and would require large scale changes to the entire flow if I changed the way the data was stored for example.

Hi, sorry I am a bit late. There maybe something useful in this [https://discourse.nodered.org/t/message-debug-function-node/53261](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/message-debug-function-node/53261)  
The code in the function node is very simple to understand.
