Number Input Node DB2 set the number by input

looking at examples and they documents don't see a way to set the number by an input. All I find are ways to set different aspects of the node. Is there a way to set the number by input?

Hi @gerry,
Probably I misunderstood your question. But can't you just inject the numeric input via ´msg.payload´?

Wow, didn't see that coming, way overthought the issue.
Thanks

I completely get your confusion.
You have to look it this way:

  • The value of a ui node is passed via msg.payload.
  • When dynamic properties are supported, you can overwrite the (part of the) settings from the config screen via msg.ui_update.xxx
  • And then there are a couple of others, e.g. msg.enable, msg.visible and msg.class (which are implemented in the ui_base class, so they are available for all nodes even the third party contributions).
