Yes. It has been raised. Something I am a big fan of.

All nodes that accept input to have a typedInput

### Description To avoid having to split up and shift around properties in my o…bject payload, please support a standard "property" input as a `typedInput`. Same as the built in switch node, file, range, etc, nodes do ![image](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-dashboard/assets/44235289/184f2856-e40c-4d0a-b40d-8b394f479251) ![image](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-dashboard/assets/44235289/adf64214-d41f-47d3-ab88-3f46c2e7fe43) ![image](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-dashboard/assets/44235289/697e4b78-ef67-45a8-9578-1f9c66e262fc) I would recommend, to keep this simple, it would default to `msg.payload` and would only support `msg` and `JSONata`. Anyone who knows JSONata can use `performance * availability * quality` directly in the input property Anyone who doesn't know or like JSONata, can use a math node or other nodes to compute the OEE value then pass it into the ui-text node This means given this payload: ``` { name: "Cooling Stage 1" time: '16:00', cycleCount: 800, availability: 0.938, performance: 0.933, quality: 0.983 OEE, "86%" productionHours: 8, partCount: 700, targetCount: 800, scrap: 12 } ``` I can change this... ![image](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-dashboard/assets/44235289/e75875dc-2951-4850-83f0-b704fdc5e76a) into this... ![image](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-dashboard/assets/44235289/63c8fc29-ac09-4a66-b163-6bafb522f504) ### Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue? I have provided an initial effort estimate

But it has been on the backlog now for almost 10 months
