mustache templates question

[hushed ravine]

Can I do
flow.get(flow.get("light"));
via mustache templates?

I know I can do
{{flow.light}}
but that will only give me
flow.get("light")

You can use the Python get function in Jinja as well

So flow.get(flow.get("light") should work

You can also do
flow[flow.light]

[hushed ravine]

I will try that later, thanks

This one does not work in a event state node, entity_id fiel.

Not sure what you mean here, what's the content of this flow variable?

[hushed ravine]

I am trying to access a flow variable at the parent from a subflow.
flow.get("light") gives me $parent.light_main_light, then I need to use flow.get("$parent.light_main_light") to get flow from parent, which will be the final entity_id.

this does not work

.

this gives me $parent.light_main_light, as expected

what does flow give you?

{{ flow }}

[hushed ravine]

"InputError: Entity could not be found in cache for entityId: "

[hushed ravine]

this one gives me
message: "InputError: Entity could not be found in cache for entityId: $parent.light_main_light"

@hushed ravine Apologies for jumping in, but did you say the flow variable is in a subflow? It might be violating context. This link and the following video may help. https://discourse.nodered.org/t/flow-variables-in-subflows/65938
