I’ve been creating workflows for a while and I don’t know why sometimes I cannot test a simple node: [image] I have data in the previous node pinned . I press Execute I expect the input to be processed in this very simple manner and yet I get nothing [image] Data is: :light_bulb: Inserted data…

Hi @bally , since you use “$json“ for your variable reference, it therefore does refer to the data from previous node. But even though it’s showing variables such as {{ $json.To }} in green (means there is a “To“ variable found), we can’t see this “To“ variable in “Split Messages“ node. We do only s…

They are all there, lower in the json. This node is actually already working for a while, but I wanted to add some new features. For some reason I cannot test with the pinned data.

can you copy/paste here the json input data so we can try replicate on our end the behavior with a set node ? of course you can edit the data in case it’s confidential

Hi @bally I was also facing this issue in the previous release but everything started working fine when i have updated my n8n and restarted my instance.

Try this: { "id": "19bf38", "threadId": "19bf38", "snippet": "First Name: John Doe Last Name: Doe Email: johndoe@xyz.com Phone: 1234567 Needed: I am looking for a pie", "payload": { "partId": "", "mimeType": "multipart/alternative", "filename": "", "body": { "size": 0 …

I tried and it works for me, except that the json key “To“ doesn’t exists in the JSON data you shared : [image] I am using n8n self hosted version 2.6.3 FYI : [image] Which version are you using? Below the workflow I created for the test : test random.json (4.5 KB)

Mine: [image] I imported your test workflow and it does generate an output [image] I then copied the Jason from your input and put it into the output of my previous node and then try to run my node and it’s not working. And then I tried try to copy my node into your Test workflow and then it …

Can you show the exact error you get and upload the json wf you have executed along with the pinned data ? so that I can replicate and check. I just executed the latest json wf you shared and I get no issue : [image] All output data are being populated : [image]

I don’t get an error I just get no output. I get output on your node and not on my node. What’s the difference between them? They look like the same

can you share the full JSON of your workflow here? And screenshot of which node is not showing output as well
