Hi all,
I recently did a fresh install of node red and dashboard. The 'Show Dialog' node seems to be missing.
The weird thing is, I imported a flow that I had from the previous version of dashboard which has a 'Show Dialog' node and it works (almost, see next question) even though it's not available from the node selection on the left. Any ideas why this may be?
I am using the 'Show Dialog' node to give the user an option to confirm if they want to change settings. But if I press OK or CANCEL the payload still gets sent. Any ideas why this may be happening?
Many thanks

Is that now (or perhaps always was) the Notification node?
If it is then the Cancel button should send a payload containing whatever label you have defined for the Cancel button.

If you post the flow you imported (please [read this before posting the flow](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506)), we might be able to determing the actual node it is using

@Colin The notification node only has an input while the Show Dialog node has an input and output.

It is the notification node. I just hadn't selected the Show Dialog option in the node settings.
Still confused why it's passing the command when pressing cancel (or 'go back')

Ok, you have a node in the flow that looks like it came from `node-red-contrib-mdashboard`. If you don't have `node-red-contrib-mdashboard` I assume you made the export when you did have it installed.
One of it's nodes was ui\_toast which
> Shows `msg.payload` as a popup notification or OK / Cancel dialog
> message on the user interface.
That is why it is missing. You can remove that node from the flow and use the dashboard `notification` node or try something like `node-red-contrib-sysmessage` in its place.

Thank you for your reply. I used the notification node with a switch node after it that passes OK and blocks CANCEL. Works perfectly.
Thanks for the help!!
