This appears to be continuation of your [previous thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/have-objects-in-msg-need-to-take-actions-based-on-one-of-the-payload-codes/37451). I thought we had a solution that did what you want. There is no point switching to an existing thread that is a year old. Please continue on that old thread or, since the thread title is not relevant to this issue then start a new thread with a relevant title. However, if you do that then start by posting the flow you currently have and explain what about it does not work.
