Hello There,

I use switch nodes to set Lines for a Chart node. Everything was working fine.

Then i wanted to Change the Label of the switches to the Name of the values, so you can read the switch label and activate the needed line.  
The renaming of the label works fine to. below is a part of the flow. the whole flow would be to big.

That flow part is a pass by of the normal payload and is joined after the last Change node with the original payload.

My Problem is that with my renaming the value is permanently shown in the Chart, without changing the switch Position in the Dashboard.

how can i do the renaming without "activating" the switch?

I think you are going to have to share more of the flow than the part you did.

One possible problem is that you delete the message payload in the first `change` node.

So there won't be anything coming out to the second one.

Dunno, but that's just a guess.

But considering the `chart` usually uses the `msg.payload`, deleting it won't be helping.

And/or:

Moving an empty (deleted) `msg.payload` to what it is there also won't help.

Unless you mean to set the `msg.payload` to the second one.  
I got caught with `to` and `move` a few times myself.

I didn't mean the post to be judgemental of you. We all start with no knowledge.

I was merely stating what I see/saw.

The `msg.payload` is deleted in the first node.

Then in the third node it is **moved** to the other named thing..... `payload.Wertcheck1`

If it was deleted, you won't see anything on the chart.

(Ok, scratch that. Seems you have shown the data)  
~~  
Also, suggestion, add some `debug` nodes to the flow.  
When you add them, double click and tick the `show entire message` (or what ever it is called) button then you will see the message going along.~~

 

Oh, also **name** the `debug` nodes or you will go crazy trying to see what is where.

~~So as an example name the first `debug` node in the sequence `1` then the next one `2` and so on.  
 ~~

It will greatly help you.

But do you understand what I mean with the `msg.payload` part?

Check the `chart` node and make sure at which part of the `msg` it is looking for data.

It isn't quite as simple as deleting the `delete msg.payload`.

You are **moving** the `msg.payload` to ..... `msg.payload.Wertcheck1` at the end.

Again: If the `chart` is looking at `msg.payload` and you are sending it in the other one, it still won't work.  
For the sake of it, delete (or wire around) the last `change` node.

I've just looked at the second part you posted.

Again I shall stress: Make sure the data you are sending to the `chart` is correct.

It would seem you are sending it the modified `msg.payload.Wertcheck1` when - looking at the `chart` node - it is looking for the data to be in `msg.payload` which is blank/empty.

But after that i cannot join the switch value with my original payload with the join node…

"Cannot merge non-object-types"

The flow works fine but the renaming of the switch labels Troubles me...

Hang on....

I'm looking at the bigger picture.

Ok, thoughts:

 ![Screenshot from 2020-07-15 17-27-16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/c/8cdfc21f1e38b9822d37f97565fd9bb70aa07fca.png)

Set up the `debug` node as shown.

 ![Screenshot from 2020-07-15 17-27-21](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/a/8/a87fa4729f92812ffec27905f141968f2e5a456d.png)

Then connect up the `debug` node here like the `chart` node.

Now indulge me:

You are wanting to set the _names_ of the switches (the GUI ones) to what is the `msg.topic` - correct?

The flow you posted (the bigger one):

The part shown in red....

 ![Screenshot from 2020-07-15 17-34-33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/8/2/8219d8f57723e2799341cc45e9851597ce30a613.png)

That is an example and you want to do it with all the `switches`?  
Just as this will be a fixed message, I don't understand why you don't edit the `switch` nodes and set their _names_ manually. As there is no way this can vary as you are specifying in the `change` node that is setting the `topic` to a fixed value.

Sorry, just asking.

So here is the payload after the join node with payload deleting in the first Change node:

Yeah, well, maybe.

For the sake of trying, just delete some of the connections from the `function` node to the `chart`.

Oh, when posting the `debug` output, click as shown.....

 ![Screenshot from 2020-07-15 17-40-52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/5/7/57525c99349f4eee0b1eb790ac14507b4828137b.png)

Then, here click the `</>` button at the top and paste the output.  
This makes it easier for people to look at the output and understanding it.

1. i set up the debug node ut i cant give it you like you wanted:

So here are some of the 18 payloads. As i wanted i get 18 msg's for 18 lines.  
the payload should be "0" but with my rename test (yep the red part) i get a payload .

yes i would like to dynamicly Change the switch names in the Dashboard. because there will be 20 Charts and in every Chart the values can Change in month or weeks.

Mhmm i have to check out the one msg with empty Topic....dont know where it came from…  
Ahh found it, now every message got its Topic...

That's good to hear.

So just to check: Is it now working?

Going a bit _off topic_: What is the use of the `function` node? To set initial values?

I am only thinking: Maybe there is another way to do what you are doing.

Another thought: Put 18 `debug` nodes - rather than the one I showed you - as it would be easier to see what is happening and from _whom_. Name each of the `debug` nodes `1` to `18` and set them to show the entire message body.

You can then turn them all off.... Turn one on at a time and make sure the messages are correctly formatted with the `topic` etc.

With the naming of the `switches`, the `change` node before the `switch` should only need to set the `topic` to the name you want for the switch.

Back to what you said about the names changing from week to week or month to month:  
That will still need you to edit the `change` node.

Also looking at the `switch` (GUI) node:  
the `label` field:

The way you are doing it seems different to how it is described in the documentation:

(extract)

> The label can also be set by a message property by setting the field to the name of the property, for example {{msg.topic}}.

So why don't you have `{{msg.topic}}` in that field?

Oh, ok. I see that **one** (the first) one has `{{topic}}` in the `label` filed.

But I am not sure it should be `{{topic}}` or `{{msg.topic}}`. Sorry you need to check that.

Just to get things a bit better under control, how about you make the flow look like this:

 ![Screenshot from 2020-07-15 18-27-50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/5/9/59fed8b5c8c2483ed39ed94186e4688039bdb162.png)

That is the initial `function` node, the `change` node, the `switch` node, the second `change` node, the `join` node and the `chart` node.

Add the `debug` node and have it set to show the entire message.

If it does, paste the `debug` node and we can work from there.

By the way: What is the link for that I crossed out? If you _send_ the message up via the other path, it doesn't make sense that the other one is also there.

(That could be causing problems too.)

Yeap the spaces were filled with debug nodes 🙂  
i couldnt post them, because it was to big…

the function node brings the if condition for the switches, Setting the line names, and at the end i want to send a value to the payload Sender with that function node

in my solution i dont Need to Change anything in node red if the valuename changes.  
the Name Comes with the payload and is set as Topic in the Change node.

so far so good. my Problem is that this solution activates the payload for that switch somehow.

for {{msg.topic}} - it worked with Topic and msg.topic the same way

Sorry. I don't understand.

But reading it more, I think that other _line_ I showed crossed out may be causing problems.

The `switch` node is used to turn on/off the data passing. So having that second _link_ would over-ride the switch's function/operation.

The Bypass for the Change node before the switch Wanst there bevor the switch node.  
so the crossed line was the main "payload Pipeline"

Because i Change the Topic in the Change node i cannot use this way for my values as payload….

Sorry, I am still not understanding that.

I am guessing that payloads (all) would go through something like that extra part you showed to name the `switch` node.

So therefore: All messages need to have this _structure_ to name their switches. Or am I missing something?

Sorry. I am asking to try and get a picture in my mind of what you are wanting to do.  
I don't really want to use the flow, as I don't know what to inject into it to get results.

But the way it is (the bigger one) structured, I really can't see how it will/can work.  
As I said, unless you expand what you did for the first (top) one to all.
