I have a simple form with a numeric input and a submit button this seems to work but how can I see the value that is getting back to my node red?

Add a debug node to the output, then you will see the value in the sidebar.

I must have something else wrong, because I have a debug node and I see nothing.

So when I run the flow in UI mode and enter a value into my form and then hit submit and then switch back to the editor I have nothing in my debug window.

I got it figured out, just operator error.  
Sorry, but thanks.
