Sorry, but I seem to be missing a HUGE thing with how this is working. Node in question: [{"id":"a2eca75e0c71a132","type":"switch","z":"b25fd092.bcc758","name":"Is share available?","property":"payload","propertyType":"msg","rules":[{"t":"cont","v":"Sharename","vt":"str"}],"checkall":"true","repai…

When I import your flow it shows two outputs for the 'switch' node. Then as soon as I click 'Done' the unused output disappers. Tried it on NR 3.1.0 and 4.0.9 - works fine for me

I'm using 4.0.9 (Should have declared that at the start - sorry) But even so...... The edit screen for that node only has 1 conditional test and there are 2 outputs. DEVELOPMENT! New (demo) flow. [{"id":"5783782ac991874a","type":"switch","z":"b25fd092.bcc758","name":"Is share available?","prop…

I have imported your flow and see this.. [sunday_switch_D] Then if go inside the 'switch' node and do nothing and then click 'Done' I get this... [sunday_switch_E] It will be interesting to hear/see what behaviour other people encounter.

For some reason, your Machine 1 isn't telling the truth as the visual representation doesn't match the underlying logic. The visual shows two outputs, but the logic knows there is only one. So the 'switch' is behaving correctly by not sending 'something-else'. No idea why you are experiencing this s…

I just did what @dynamicdave said. Believe it or not, it now went to only 1 output. But strange it hadn't done it with previous attempts.

Question is how did you get it to have 2 outputs? The flow is this: [ { "id": "a2eca75e0c71a132", "type": "switch", "z": "f93e13e54f881a08", "name": "Is share available?", "property": "payload", "propertyType": "msg", "rules": [ …

Thanks. But another question has come up in that I have opened that switch node a few times while posting here. It kept the 2 outputs. After Dave mentioned what happened on his machine, I tried and it (the node) tidied itself up and went to only having 1 output. How did all that happen? (Rheto…

[image] Trying_to_learn: But it has kinda caught my interest on how it all happened. It's the switch node - it sets the outputs based on the number of conditions. BUT only once the edit panel is opened. Now you how did you get the outputs to be 2? That's the bug here. I know how I got the te…

Thanks Dave.

I was just wanting to be sure I either was (or not) going crazy.
