Include Binary File option does not exist in Edit Fields (Set) Node

Describe the problem/error/question

I am very new to n8n and am currently using some tutorials to learn the basics of n8n. In particular, I have come across this tutorial Talk to your SQLite database with a LangChain AI Agent.

I tried to follow along and have attempted to re-create this workflow in my own workspace. However, I am running into an issue with the Edit Field (Set) node.

In the tutorial workflow the original Edit Field (Set) node that came in the workspace has the option to “Include Binary File” in its output. However, if I load in my own Edit Field (Set) node, the same option does not exist. I only have the option to “Ignore Type Conversion Errors” and “Support Dot Notation”.

This means when I try to query the database through the Chat Trigger, through my own Edit Fiet (Set) node that I load in, no database is passed to the AI agent to be able to query.

Please share your workflow

Hi there!
You can follow bellow pics to make the binary data passed to output field!

  1. Change your input view to schema (Red one)
  2. Change mode to JSON
  3. Open chat trigger dropdown, drag to JSON field, remove the latest dotted text (e.g. item.json.removethis), so it’ll be detected all of the object.
  4. TUrn on include other input fields, and Do not change anything in the input fields to include, except you’ll do some advance technical things!

If it helps you, please help me to by mark it as the answer, miaw ^^

Thank you for the answers! The suggested solutions did indeed work. What confused me was that the “Strip Binary Data” field had to be turned off for it to work.

It’s my pleasure that I can “a little bix fix” with your problem. Anyway, thanks for the supporting me too!
