In a function node you may convert it by javascript:

You can also use JSONATA in a change node. Set msg.payload to a JSONATA expression

the `$string()` expression works well for this;

This description is ambiguous. I can think of at least two interpretations, and you have gotten an answer to each. Please mark one as the solution, or clarify your issue.
