This was possible in an older n8n version and i’m not sure when it changed but this would be amazing if it was brought back. Especially since taking the unexecuted node out and connecting it directly to the one I want to use the expression in doesn’t solve the problen since that translates to those {{ $json.X }} expressions instead of including the node name. A workaround i’ve been using is having an executed dummy edit fields node ready to put inbetween
I still have an old n8n version for workflows that I haven’t migrated (1.24.0) , this is what i’m talking about:
