Well, with Button2 you send `{cookies: 1}` so there is no `archive` field in that object so it's correct to be `undefined`. If you want to have both fields always returned then create external variable `{archive: '', cookies: 0}`, update it with the button and then send that object.

thanks for reply it gives ideas,... but, what i really want is to send each value send each value separately. when i click on button2 cookies will not change it value.

I don't think I follow.  
In the first post you said that `button2` returns `msg.archive` as `undefined`, which is correct looking at the code (`button2` returns only `msg.cookie`). But in your second post you mention that you want to send each value separately which is what you already do in your code.

Maybe write what result you want to have in the end? `{archive: some_value_1, cookies: some_value_2}` or something else?

my first code doesn't send value separately. when i click at button1 cookie = 1, but when i click at button2 cookie become undefined. i need cookie to be set at 1 ..  
you may test it, perhaps you will understant what i need.

Ok, so you must do what I wrote in my first post.  
You can also use `join` node like this:

```auto
[{"id":"a05cd8aa.364e68","type":"ui_template","z":"e9bac780.ed1af8","group":"f9739ca5.a36ef","name":"","order":0,"width":0,"height":0,"format":"<button class=\"inner\" id=\"mBtn1\" ng-click=\"send({archive: '10'})\">button1</button>\n<button class=\"inner\" id=\"mBtn2\" ng-click=\"send({cookies: 1})\">button2</button>","storeOutMessages":true,"fwdInMessages":true,"templateScope":"local","x":680,"y":140,"wires":[["448460c7.88a028"]]},{"id":"448460c7.88a028","type":"join","z":"e9bac780.ed1af8","name":"","mode":"custom","build":"merged","property":"","propertyType":"full","key":"topic","joiner":"\\n","joinerType":"str","accumulate":true,"timeout":"","count":"1","x":890,"y":140,"wires":[["ddd3646.1d1d418"]]},{"id":"ddd3646.1d1d418","type":"debug","z":"e9bac780.ed1af8","name":"","active":true,"console":"false","complete":"false","x":1100,"y":140,"wires":[]},{"id":"f9739ca5.a36ef","type":"ui_group","z":"","name":"Pogoda","tab":"8e345031.920048","order":2,"disp":true,"width":"6"},{"id":"8e345031.920048","type":"ui_tab","z":"","name":"test","icon":"dashboard","order":1}]

When you send({key:value)} it creates a new message instead of send(msg), which references the msg scope that you can change for example:

```auto
<button class="inner" id="mBtn1" ng-click="msg.archive = '10';send(msg)">button1</button>
<button class="inner" id="mBtn2" ng-click="msg.cookies = 1;send(msg)">button2</button>
```
