Help with sub-flow and `node.status`

[Trying_to_learn]

I am wanting to make the node show either a red or green filled circle depending on the condition.

The message I send...... Is the important stuff in payload or do I have to put it in status?
(Semi rhetorical, but I have to ask)

[Paul-Reed]

Haven't used it in a subflow, but assume it's the same...

[{"id":"685d4506.0d2e2c","type":"function","z":"c9c4eeb8.bad8e","name":"","func":"if (msg.payload == \"yes\") {\n    node.status({fill:\"green\",shape:\"dot\",text:\"Yes\"});\n} else if (msg.payload == \"no\") {\n    node.status({fill:\"red\",shape:\"dot\",text:\"No\"});\n}\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","x":430,"y":2140,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"76b5853a.f401fc","type":"inject","z":"c9c4eeb8.bad8e","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"yes","payloadType":"str","x":240,"y":2120,"wires":[["685d4506.0d2e2c"]]},{"id":"c6343d.5d309bc","type":"inject","z":"c9c4eeb8.bad8e","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"no","payloadType":"str","x":240,"y":2180,"wires":[["685d4506.0d2e2c"]]}]

[Trying_to_learn]

Yeah, ok.

It is msg.payload and has to be like this:
msg.payload = ({fill: "green",text:"Good"});

And that is sent to the node.status output.

Sorry folks.

All good now.

Like that it seems to work.
(I get the message and colours as shown)

[Trying_to_learn]

Thanks Paul. Alas not quite from what I got working.

I'm not seeing any node.status indicator in your screenshot above, all you seem to be doing is creating conditional statements to format the payload.

[Trying_to_learn]

My bad for not editing the piccie.

That appears when I tick the box to have a status output.

@Trying_to_learn

My bad for not editing the piccie.

But I'm still not seeing a red or green filled node.status circle, like you described in post #1?

[Trying_to_learn]

Ok, this is what I am seeing when I am testing it.

[Paul-Reed]

Aah right, I see what you are doing now. You are using the subflow status node

[Trying_to_learn]

Sorry, I thought that was understood.

No problems.

All good.

Thanks though for the checking.

[Paul-Reed]

@Trying_to_learn

Sorry, I thought that was understood.

I should have spotted the status node in your screenshot. It's been a long day!!
You are probably more familiar with subflows than me, I must learn to make more use of them.

[Trying_to_learn]

Don't worry. I am as guilty of that as anyone.

Don't stress. All good.
But again: Thanks for the replies. I like/need sanity checks to keep me on the straight and narrow.
