Status/dashboard (ui_text) bug

Running NR 0.19.5 and dashboard 2.12.2, this flow throws an error from the ui_text node labelled "status": "TypeError: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined". I have confirmed that there is no error using dashboard 2.11.0. To my surprise, the ui_text node labelled "text" has no problem displaying msg.status.text from the change node. Any idea what is going on?

Hopefully this is the same as the issue reported here https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/issues/459
and fixed in master

@dceejay Seems so. As a workaround, I just inserted a change node with msg.payload set to an empty string ahead of the mis-behaving ui_text node, and all's well. Sorry I didn't check the GitHub issues before posting.

no problem.
