Merge Data taken from a path that shouldn't be executed

[tkey]

Hey all,
I am trying to do some security checks on URLs, and in case there are no URLs to check just output static data. For that I used Merge node, but somehow the Code node in the If branch which shouldn’t be executed is being executed (node “Clean”) and is mixing data in the flow. Could you help me understand why?

Describe the problem/error/question

The data from a node that shouldn’t be executed is mixed in the flow.

What is the error message (if any)?

I will reply to myself, just in case someone is having the same issue ;D

It was a problem in n8n before version 1, the documentation and explanation is here - Merge | n8n Docs

Solution - change the Execution Order for the flow: to v1.
