call_service node output properties

[dgthomson]

Describe the bug

The sent data call_service node output properties aren't respected and are omitted from msg.

To Reproduce

Simple flow enclosed which is an inject node, a call-service node and a debug node.

The call-service node is set as follows:

domain switch service turn_on entity [entity] Output properties msg.payload sent data msg.test moocow

Expected behavior

I expect to get a complete msg payload like...

{ "_msgid": "9c65388168b28e40", "payload": "[sent data]", "test": "moocow" }

Instead I get...

{ "_msgid": "9c65388168b28e40", "test": "moocow" }

Looks like it has been broken for a while or never worked as intended.

Instead of outputting sent data it outputs the data field.

[Schonke]

Had this issue today and found the solution.

You can get the results of a service call as output by adding an output property and setting it to results, or the sent data by setting an output property to sent data.

The result will then be found in whatever variable you chose like this:
