FYI: This has been asked and answered [many many times already](https://discourse.nodered.org/search?q=mustache%20array)

Dont use `[x]`, use `.x.` instead

```auto
{{payload.0.Text}}
{{payload.1.Text}}
{{payload.2.Text}}
{{payload.?.Text}}
and so on

```

Even better:

```auto
{{#payload}}
     {{Text}
{{/payload}}

```
