I just installed v1.3.2 of Node-RED

So far it was possible to use e.g. msg.topic to set the label in ui\_numeric. Strange enough, it looks like this does not function anymore....

The label remains empty on the dashboard.

ui\_button works well!

Try `{{topic}}` instead of `{{msg.topic}}`

I am sorry @hotNipi but this does look like the solution. Unfortunately.
