I am having strange problems with Node-Red flows. Some Function nodes have errors like not recognizing msg, or functions like Buffer. ![Node-Red issues](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/4/4e02b49d2695c7c2bd86e596250017998c785503.png) These worked fine under 1.3.5. Any suggestions (other than rolling back to 1.3.5)? Thanks, Guillermo ---

Hi Guillermo, thanks for reaching out and for flagging! This is an issue with the listed types package not being installed. We’re looking into a fix, and I’ll update here to confirm when the fix will be released. That being said, this should only be an issue for the editor/ui; it shouldn’t affect the runtime functionality (if you deploy those function nodes, despite the UI errors, they should still work as expected). Let me know if that’s not the case. Thanks, Kathy ---

Hi Kathy, Thanks for the quick response. In the meantime, I was attempting to recreate the problem in a VM I have with Node-Red installed. I was having issues because my Flow uses the Tulip-Tag node. Is that not available in any repositories? I only found the Tulip-API nodes. Regards, Guillermo ---

The `tulip-tag` nodes are currently only available on Edge Devices. The same functionality should be achievable using the `tulip-machine-attribute` nodes with a bit more overhead - the primary differences are authentication (you will need to create an api key and use its credentials), and that you’ll need to copy the target machine attribute’s machineId/attributeId into the Node-RED node, instead of doing the mapping on the Tulip side. Hope that helps! ---

Hi Kathy, Yes, that helps, thanks. Are there any plans to release the tulip-tag nodes to enable running on more powerful hardware? I noticed that the tulip-machine-attribute nodes are being deprecated in favor of the tulip-tag nodes. ---

Hi Guillermo, we’ll continue to support and maintain the public API nodes, and there are no plans to remove them from Tulip edge devices. We just recommend using the tulip-tag nodes on Tulip devices over the machine attribute nodes since they have built-in authentication and it’s a more scalable solution for duplicating flows between devices - but you can definitely still safely use the api nodes on the device. As for running tulip-tags on external hardware, there are plans for this (or at least something similar) later this year, but I don’t have a concrete timeline. Best, Kathy ---

Hi Guillermo, Just as a follow up, the UI bug from your original post will be fixed in our upcoming point release OS56.4 (scheduled for next week). Best, Kathy ---

Perfect, thanks for letting me know and for resolving it quickly. Regards, Guillermo
