I'm sure there is a solution but what do you mean by `the text key of JSON object``? I could interpret that many ways. Please create a object showing what you want the result to be.

Note, there are `JSON strings` and `Javascript objects` but no `JSON objects`

In the image you can see that in STATUSTEXT object in the key "text" i have manually written an "abc" string. What i want is that instead of manually typing a string in the text key, whatever value i type in Input text node. It should replace "abc"

You can use the mustache temple and output as a parsed json object.  
e.g.

```auto
[{"id":"c58e944566ea08f7","type":"ui_text_input","z":"452103ea51141731","name":"","label":"","tooltip":"","group":"2d4fe667.28f8ba","order":17,"width":0,"height":0,"passthru":false,"mode":"text","delay":"0","topic":"topic","sendOnBlur":true,"className":"","topicType":"msg","x":240,"y":4060,"wires":[["15160b97726f7ed7"]]},{"id":"15160b97726f7ed7","type":"template","z":"452103ea51141731","name":"","field":"payload","fieldType":"msg","format":"handlebars","syntax":"mustache","template":"{\n \"name\":\"input name\",\n \"parameters\": {\n \"test\": \"{{payload}}\"\n }\n}","output":"json","x":440,"y":4060,"wires":[["830147a4173859b2"]]},{"id":"830147a4173859b2","type":"debug","z":"452103ea51141731","name":"debug 111","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":590,"y":4040,"wires":[]},{"id":"2d4fe667.28f8ba","type":"ui_group","name":"demo","tab":"1caa8458.b17814","order":2,"disp":true,"width":"12","collapse":false},{"id":"1caa8458.b17814","type":"ui_tab","name":"Demo","icon":"dashboard","order":1,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

```

Template Node

```auto
{
    "name":"input name",
    "parameters": {
        "test": "{{payload}}"
    }
}

```
