In the console output of a debug node the name of the node is printed, however I would like the name of the node to change with a changing input. I have already tried this by using a format string, shown below, however this does not change the output.


Alternativaly, a way to change the formatting of the console output for the debug messages would work too. Are either of these two things possible?
I don't think you can change the name of the node like that.
You could use JSONata in the debug node to customise the output:

},

],
