Guys,

thanks I am loving the new capability in 2.2.0 (we are currently pinned to 2.1.3 for our prod instances and need to upgrade) to get the node and flow details from the env object

have a function

```auto
msg.nrNodeId = env.get("NR_NODE_ID");
msg.nrNodeName = env.get("NR_NODE_NAME");
msg.nrNodePath = env.get("NR_NODE_PATH");
msg.nrGroupId = env.get("NR_GROUP_ID");
msg.nrGroupName = env.get("NR_GROUP_NAME");
msg.nrFlowId = env.get("NR_FLOW_ID");
msg.nrFlowName = env.get("NR_FLOW_NAME");

msg.payload = `I was sent by Function ${msg.nrNodeName}, on Flow '${msg.nrFlowName}`
msg.env = env
return msg;

```

it is returning

```auto
{"_msgid":"eb2947b81078e8f7","payload":"I was sent by Function , on Flow 'Flow 1","topic":"","nrNodeId":"ab7b26a8695984e6","nrNodeName":"","nrNodePath":"c6102b2d.d908e8/ab7b26a8695984e6","nrFlowId":"c6102b2d.d908e8","nrFlowName":"Flow 1","env":{}}

```

I don't appear to be getting the NR\_NODE\_NAME variable. Is this a bug or am I doing something silly?

Its working for me (running on the beta version of NR) ..  
silly question .. do you have a name for your Function ? 🧐

you can also try `msg.nrNodeName = node.name`  
it should give you the same thing
