Hi @ItsLarsBB

You could use a Function node configured with:

msg.payload = "#"+msg.payload;
return msg;

The Function allows you to write JavaScript that is run against each message it receives.

https://nodered.org/docs/writing-functions

If you’re going to spend much time with Node-RED, it’s worth familiarising yourself with some of the basics of JavaScript

Other options include…

You could use a Template node (normal template, not dashboard template) configured with:

#{{payload}}

You could use a Change node to set msg.payload to the expression '#' & $.payload

Hi @knolleary

Thx :+1:

The change node can also use a regex to modify the string -- like so:

(the regex character ^ matches the beginning of the line)
