Edit: Solved. Function as a Switch with Multiple Outputs I have an HTTP Request that's connected to a Function that I want to use as a Switch using multiple outputs. The function has to make some modifications to the msg object and then set the request method for the next request so I can't just us…

It's also worth mentioning that I'm currently on v0.19.5.

I'm sure the function node and the docs are OK both. But let us peek into your function. Hard to help otherwise.

It's pretty simple. msg.payload = msg.currentRx; if (msg.statusCode == 200) { // Update msg.method = 'PATCH'; return [null, msg]; } else { // Add return [msg, null]; } I was able to replace a null with false and it suddenly started sending output (to both), which is what led m…

By design, return null halts the flow (no msg sent). This is one of the fundamentals of node red.

@Steve-Mcl Just to be clear, if the function has multiple outputs, a null only stops the flow to that output. The other output will get a msg object and that leg of the flow will continue running.
