Setting Dynamic Data in N.R. for uibuilder jQuery F.E.?

Dashboard

I'm making progress with the basics of uibuilder, but not quite following how to catch changes in "dynamic" data. Let's say I want to catch a value change in the client side jQuery app using the uibuilder pattern:

  uibuilder.onChange( 'myState', function(newVal) {
      console.info( 'myState changed!' )
      console.log( 'myState:' , newVal )
      ... some cool code ...
  })

Is it possible to set the value in a node-red function using something like uibuilder.set('myState','unconfused') so the the onChange callback above spots changes? Or is that not how dynamic values work? Can I only use the getter and setters within the jQuery side code? So in that case, I would use a Node Red function to set the {key:value} inside the msg.payload and then use uibuilder.onChange('msg',callbackFn) just to get the payload (which means I have to store the previous key:values in jQuery code to look for changes)?

You will have to feed data into the uibuilder node. It remains a node-red-node, meaning, passing messages.
