hi, i need help for dashboard template.  
i read this: [Msg.payload from multiple nodes to ui\_template](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/msg-payload-from-multiple-nodes-to-ui-template/3862)  
and i use join for create an array for my data and then exracted like this:  
msg.one = msg.payload[0];  
msg.two = msg.payload[1];  
and its work. but the problem is somtimes data write in 0 and somtimes write in 1.  
so how can i set a data alway set in 0 or 1  
i need i musy create object, right?  
can i create an data like object like this:  
var newMsg = {};  
newMsg.payload = {  
weather: "Rain",  
temp\_maxc: 25.5,  
temp\_minc: 18.3,

You could use a topic in your source data  
E.g.

```auto
if( msg.topic == "something"){
  msg.one = msg.payload
} 
/Etc

```
