I have just published a simple remap node - node-red-contrib-remap - that hopefully simplifies filtering and remapping properties within a msg. The main use case is when fetching data from an API and you get back loads of info - usually too much - and just want to pick out the parts you want and ma…

You can try …. But the node does specify nodejs>=16 so it’s the scoring system having a laugh. Not sure something so simple needs an example :slight_smile:

Did this work better on the Passthru all? I am seeing similar issues. More information, When I removed the payload from the input selection and only went off of the msg. the error went away and it worked.

Fix coming tomorrow (and a bunch of enhancements)

Is this going to become a core node?

Just mentioning: I can't expand the picture to see what the node looks like when open.

[image] gerry: Is this going to become a core node? Probably not, (unless there is a lot of demand). Just something I needed for a while and to save typing while I recover from a broken hand

Now I've my brain in gear - this IS the node I've been looking for for a while :slight_smile: [image]

Just tried it (installed just now) on some existing data: [image] [image] The error is from the initial push of data. The function reads an Excel file and converts it to JSON using: [image] It restructures the imported data as shown in the first image.

v0.2 just published.... probably breaking (sorry... not sorry) much better merging of objects if you rename them to the same property. fix for silly string property update error. added examples.

Sorry to hear about your injured hand Dave, hope it mends soon. Can we look forward to a speech based editor any time soon? :upside_down_face: "Alexa, connect a new debug node showing the whole message to function 53"
