I am trying to get a response from the UIBuilder instance, after using a injection node to a sender node to a debug node.
I have set the originator in the response message but I am not getting the hang of it. Receiving messages from front-end to node-red is no issue.
I just would like to see a good example of how to set up the response message for the sender node.
I used the following JS code:
```javascript
import '../../uibuilder/uibuilder.esm.min.js'
```
```javascript
uibuilder.onChange('msg', (msg) => {
console.log(msg);
if(msg._uib && msg._uib.originator)
{
let response = {
topic: 'CHECK',
payload: 'pong',
_uib: {
originator: msg._uib.originator
},
};
console.log(response);
uibuilder.send(response);}
})
```
Do i need to set up a different parameter aswell or something else? I checked out [UIBUILDER Documentation v7](https://totallyinformation.github.io/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/#/how-to/sender-node) but to no avail.
Everything in the screenshot works, except receiving the response data in the response data debug node. Which is where I am trying to return the Send Ping injection with a Pong:
Cheers,
Rob

I could be wrong, but you haveโฆ
```auto
_uib: {
originator: msg._uib.originator
},
```
shouldn't you have included the sender node's id, something like;
```auto
_uib: {
originator: "7e0daf8bed068cfe"
},
```
The node readme say's;
_When returning a message, include the `_uib.originator` property with a value of the sender node's node ID. You can get that by sending a message through the sender node._

Hi Rob and welcome to the forum.
How to use the originator is documented here:
> **[UIBUILDER Documentation v7](https://totallyinformation.github.io/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/#/client-docs/functions?id=send)**
>
> UIBUILDER Documentation v7
If all messages should go back to the same originator, you can set it using `uibuilder.setOriginator('xxxxxxxxxxxx')` or, for a specific message, you can use `uibuilder.send(msg, 'xxxxxxxxx')` where the x's are the originator ID from `msg._uib.originator`

Hi and thank you and @Paul-Reed for the quick response!
I have tried both methods of setting the originator and set it message specific.
I am however having trouble receiving this particulair message. I do not seem to realise anything that is off. I confirmed the originator is set properly and simular as the original message.
See screenshot of console.log:
I have also shared my simple test flow with my current code. I believe it should be copyโable.

Let me try out your flow. It is perfectly possible that I've broken the feature somewhere along the way as I rarely use it myself. ๐

All good, thank you for the testing too. Now I know I can let this bug pass my mind instead of going crazy ๐

I have found and fixed the issue. But do you need the fix asap or can it wait until v7.5 is released?

Thanks for the confirmation - v7.5 it will be ๐
Got a few juicy things to finish off for the new release but they are well under way.
