Describe the issue/error/question

I want to read one or several output data from one previous node not connected directly with my current node.

What is the error message (if any)?

ERROR: The node “Function2” is not connected with node “Recover Last Modification” so no data can get returned from it. [Line 1]

ExpressionError: The node "Function2" is not connected with node "Recover Last Modification" so no data can get returned from it.

Please share the workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

I want that the output info from the last node will be the same as “Recover Last Modification” node

Hi @franchogarcia, I am afraid this is the expected behaviour and not limited to the Function node.

Could you perhaps add a Merge node in either Wait or Pass-through mode to merge the orphaned branch back into your main branch? This would solve the problem of your node not being connected.

Thank you a lot @MutedJam!!! As always you are my salvation :slight_smile:
“Wait merge” hasn’t usefull for me because not returns nothing.
But “Pass-through merge” has run properly.

Thank you very much for your time, patient and help
BR!
