Hi!
I can’t understand why you can’t get the data from the preceding function item?

error

What does the GetTagIds node return? Can you change $node["BuildData"].json["id"] for $item(0).$node["BuildData"].json["id"] and try again?

GetTagIds gets the UUID of several objects in the database.
Your solution works.
Please explain why $item(0)? How is this index calculated?

The function $node uses the number of inputs to resolve to a value. The TagLinksData function is receiving multiple items but you are referencing the BuildData function which just outputs one item. Doing that you end up with something as below

BuildData Output

{
  "id": "123"
}

TagLinksData Input

[
   {
      "tag":1
   },
   {
      "tag":2
   },
   {
      "tag":3
   }
]
Index Function Resolve to
0 $node[“BuildData”].json[“id”] 123
1 $node[“BuildData”].json[“id”] undefined
2 $node[“BuildData”].json[“id”] undefined

I need to get one object to insert into Postgres, but I get an array and only one element of that array is inserted into Posgtres.

Can you please create another topic for that question? Thanks.

There seems to be many closed questions about this issue, however none of the discussions seems to resolve the problem on latest version of n8n on docker.

Trying to loop each item on HTTP request node with the following variables (all of them return same error):

{{ $node[“Edit Fields2”].json[“id”] }}
{{ $[“Edit Fields2”].item.json[“id”] }}
{{ $node[“Edit Fields2”].json[“id”] }}
{{ $item(0).$node[“Edit Fields2”].json[“d”] }}
{{ $item($itemIndex).$node[“Edit Fields2”].json[“id”] }}
{{ $json.id }}
{{ $json.item.id }}

The previous node contains 36 items, so it should be possible to loop through the items and run http request for each item?
