I have been having many issues lately, therefore thanks for everyone's massive help.
Basically, whenever I use ng-click="send({payload : msg.payload})" on my DIV element in my Template-UI node, or simply ng-click="send('Hello World')", it overrides the msg.payload that my Template received, and therefore breaks my UI that is dependent on the parts of the msg that it originally had. I am absolutely unable to get around this, despite the many codes and documentation I read.
Is there anyone that knows how it would be possible to send a msg.payload via ng-click without changing the node itself?
Basically, the msg includes a payload which is a background color, a .background that is a link, a .client that is a name, and a .topic that is the status. Everything works perfectly, as long as I don't use the send function.
