I assume that you have an `inject` node connecting to the function node and that `inject` node is sending a timestamp as msg.payload. If you change the `inject` node to send a string, you will see that spring replacing the time stamps.

When you have an issue it is wise to provide a simple flow showing the issue.

In order to make code readable and usable it is necessary to surround your code with three backticks (also known as a left quote or backquote `````)

````auto
``` 
   code goes here 
```

````
