Hi.

First, could you please format your post correctly - it is important to surround your code with three backticks

````auto
```
like this
```

````

You can edit and correct your post by clicking the pencil icon.

See this post for more details - [How to share code or flow json](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)

secondly, when copying a value from debug, please use the "copy value2 button that appears under your mouse when you hover over the message in the debug window

* * *

Lastly, can you post a screen snip of the debug output so we can see how it looks.
