After updating the Node-RED Plugin to version 1.8.0-1, I noticed an issue where the fields in existing nodes (such as for reading or writing device properties) appear blank:
Thank you! The node fields are now visible after the upgrade.
I’ve noticed another thing when modifying the device name in the property write node. Specifically, when changing the device name, the property name and value fields are being cleared. For example, in this scenario:
Initial node configuration:
Upon changing the device name:
The fields are then cleared:
I’m not certain if this behavior is intentional, but if a custom node name is used it becomes less visible or apparent at a glance.
The node dialogs are designed to remove the subresource fields (property and value in this case) when the main resource changes (device), as well as retrieving the value of the selected property when it exists for example. However I understand that in your case in which you are using a placeholder it may not be desirable.
I’ve created an issue in the GitHub repo in order to approach it for the next release of the plugin, while also give some time for other users to participate in what would be a desirable solution.
