Using array loop

General
1

Hello,

I'm new to node red. I'm trying to change some examples to my use. I have imported https://github.com/s1r-J/node-red-contrib-loop-processing

Now i want to put in a array through a array loop. But after 1 cycle i'm getting an error: Array not a array. I have added he flow. Maybe my expectation of the loop is not correct , but i hoped that with the array loop i could alter each value of the array per cycle

Hi,

please read this post about sharing code/flows on the forum - How to share code or flow json

Which node modules are you using? array-loop isn't a core node so must have come from a contrib module.

Hi ,
I have edited the code, correctly now. Sorry about that
Indeed array-loop is a contrib module

I stopped using the array-loop. And followed another example that works for me.
