I just started playing with the SVG nodes and context menu.  
I would like to know if there is anyway i can fill the label field in the following image to display something i pass from another node.

checkout the readme, built in help and the built in examples (`CTRL-I`) - it shows you how to generate dynamic entries

Sorry for the delay. I would like to have the programmed with a function node.

I am not sure how to address that label in the contextmenu (from a function node) as shown in the last image on the original post ☹

I asked if it was a function node because you have simply put an array in it with without doing anything with it.

Try this in your function node...

```javascript
msg.menu = [
    {
        "text": msg.payload[0].ParkingSlot,
        "icon": "fa-car",
        "enabled": true,
        "topic": "ParkingSlot",
        "payload": msg.payload[0].ParkingSlot,
        "payloadType": "str"
    },
    {
        "text": msg.payload[0].CarNoPlate,
        "icon": "fa-text-width",
        "enabled": true,
        "topic": "CarNoPlate",
        "payload": msg.payload[0].CarNoPlate,
        "payloadType": "str"
    },
]
return msg;

```

Connect as follows...  
`your data payload --> function node --> menu node`
