I have the following statement `if (obj.profit.percent < close) { msgSell.payload.push(obj.id)}` sending array to function output "msgSell" which currently looks like this:

I need to transform that into individual msg objects that must look like this:

which are received with `let trade_id = msg.payload.id`

Stuck on this for several days. Even when I manage to transform it to something that looks right, I can't catch the variables. Thanks!

Pass the array in payload through a split node then through a change node which sets the payload to the jsonata value `{"id": payload}`

Could you please share the flow of those two nodes?

Which part do you not understand?

1. Pass the array in payload through a split node
2. then through a change node
3. which sets the payload to the jsonata value
4. {"id": payload}
