Yes, and again: Thanks for the help.
Ok, to re-cap:
You did what I did in another case where you sent the value in the payload - given - but tagged the message with the topic. I was mistaken for a long time that it was actually msg.delay which is what the node wants.
But you “cheated” and until the last second it was the topic and you moved the msg.topic -> msg.delay()
Got it.
I am really wanting to get out of using the old context format, but so many of my nodes have that in them and so when I am stuck and search my records I find a lot of them - rather than the new ones which are a lot smaller in occurrence.
Alas I am not doing a good job of documenting the progress of the nodes as they “grow” and become better. (Work in progress).
Ok, the “default time” part. Yes, ok, if the node has a default value. It is really academic as it shouldn’t really ever be in the state where there is no value set. But to be a good programmer, I probably should put it in there.
