In the configuration node tab of my node-RED editor I see that a certain configuration node is used by 4 nodes. How can I quickly find back the 4 nodes that are using this configuration ?
FYI in my case I have 3 mqtt configuration nodes and now I want to use only 1 mqtt configuration node. The problem is that I have almost 50 mqtt nodes spread across many flows of which only 4 needs to be updated ... so for the moment I see as only option that I need to go trough all these 50 mqtt nodes and check if they need to be updated or not. I was wondering if there is not a faster way of doing this.
This is a good question -- would be nice if the displayed number of nodes (in your case 4) was a ui control that could be expanded to show the related nodes... or something.
In the meantime, the only way I've found is to open the Configuration tab, right-click on the config node, "Inspect" that dom element, and copy the tail of the id (e.g. ec93534d-af15b). Then hit ctrl-f to open the search panel, paste in the "id" but replace the dash "-" with a period "." -- now the search panel will find that config node itself, and all the nodes that refer to it. Ugly, but it works...
One slight improvement... once you select the config node in the list - then you can click the i - info panel for it and the id will be shown in the correct format to cut/paste to the find... no need to inspect the dom.
