Hello
i have a function node writing
msg.payload = {
status: msg.payload.crc\_error
}
return msg;
the Output if error, is then status: false
is there a way to on the fly
msg.payload.crc\_error if false write "CRC Error" else write the output
so the output message would then be CRC Error
have a nice day
vinc

try
```auto
msg.payload = {
status: (msg.payload.crc_error ? msg.payload.crc_error : "CRC Error")
}
```
[edit]
thinking about it this would be better
```auto
msg.payload = {
status: (msg.payload.crc_error || "CRC Error")
}
```

@E1cid thanks for your sugestion
i try to understand what will happen 😉
if the output status: false it will write CRC Error
what happen it it write status: true would it be possible to have OK?
have a nice day

Long hand (for clarity)...
```auto
if (msg.payload.crc_error == false)
msg.payload.status = "CRC OK"; //or whatever message you want
} else {
msg.payload.status = "CRC Error"; //or whatever message you want
}
return msg;
```
Shorthand hand ...
```auto
msg.payload.status = msg.payload.crc_error == false ? "CRC Error" : "CRC OK";
return msg;
```

Just replace msg.payload.crc\_error with "OK"
eg
```auto
msg.payload = { status: (msg.payload.crc_error ? "OK" : "CRC Error") }
```

Merci, @E1cid & @Steve-Mcl for your help and clarification.
Changed - and have to wait till message arrive 😉 it not a message flow more some message drops
