Hello,
I’m using a mustache template node to populate a value from the flow context.
`"{{{flow.config.name}}"`
This works as expected.
However, when I store multiple objects within the flow context using a variable, is there a way of using that in the template node?
```auto
msg.contextName = "foo";
const contextName = msg.contextName;
msg.payload = {
"name": "bar"
}
flow.set(`config.${contextName}`, msg.payload);
```
```auto
msg.contextName = "bar";
const contextName = msg.contextName;
msg.payload = {
"name": "foo"
}
flow.set(`config.${contextName}`, msg.payload);
```
I now have two objects in my config flow context.
```auto
{{{flow.config.foo.name}}
{{{flow.config.bar.name}}
```
I can use a change or function node to set these values before the template node. Ideally, it would be nice to use directly within the template,
I have tried the following without success.
```auto
{{{`flow.config.${msg.contextName}.tenantname`}}}
{{{`flow.config.${contextName}.tenantname`}}}
{{{flow.config[contextName]tenantname}}}
```
Thanks in advance.
Harry

Just use a change node to set `msg.config` to `flow.msGraphQLConfig` then you can access `{{{msg.config.tenantname}}}` and `{{{msg.config.foo.name}}}` and `{{{msg.config.bar.name}}}` in the template.
Alternatively, if it is the dynamic aspect you are trying to achieve, then use `[]` square bracket notation in a change node before hand. e.g. set `msg.whatever` to `flow.config[msg.contextName]` then use `{{{whatever}}}` in the template.

Thanks for the quick response, I stated, I can use a change or function node, ideally looking to see if it can be done with just a tenmplate node

No, mustache is "logic-less"
