Hey folks.

I am going through replacing a node with another one which is better suited.

I search for it and the list of nodes is show.

To keep things simple, I click on the top one, replace and repeat the search.

Ok. So far so good.

Then this happens.

I've searched for `simple` and it has pointed me to this `function` node.

Ok, let's look and see what is happening.

Where is it getting the match for `simple`?

Can you export that function node and share it here so we can get a proper look at it?

Here it is.

Alas I think I can see what is causing the problem.

```auto
[{"id":"12257f9.cd4f78","type":"function","z":"eff5d6e6.236338","name":"MQTT in cheat","func":"var newMsg = msg.payload; \nreturn newMsg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":380,"y":1470,"wires":[["a18509f4.ec6d58"]],"info":"This node takes the *modified* message and puts it back to what it was on the other machine before it was sent via MQTT.\nSimple.\n2 lines of code."}]

```

Bottom line.... Kinda obvious.

Sorry for _wasting your time_.
