Hi.

Is there any RED.nodes method to get a list of all created config node and getting access to the stored data - couldn't find anything in the API documentation.

I did create a custom node with several config nodes and would like to retrieve the ip address, stored inside the config node.

Hi Henning,  
Do you need to get the config nodes in the backend (js file) or the frontend config screen (html file)?

Hi Bart, I need it only inside the JS file.

The runtime doesn't provide an api to iterate over the other nodes. We assume that any relationship between nodes will be established in the editor before the flow is deployed.
