Must incoming messages be outputed directly? about node-red-dashboard HOT 4 CLOSED

OK - have caved :-).... and added the option to disable pass-through of messages if you so wish - on both this and the toggle switch widgets.
Now in the github master branch.

Hi, yes I can see the problem. It occurs when the widget outputs more than one value within the time it takes for the feedback to occur...
Yes - optionally disconnecting the input from passing through may be the simple fix... but need to think through if there are any other consequences, and indeed if other nodes are affected.

I had this issue early on too and figured out how to just update the switch with no payload output(or race condition).
In between the subscribe and switch, I set msg.topic = null in a function node and just pass the msg.payload to the switch. ...haven't tried with a slider though.

This is a marvelous idea. Never thought of that... I will test it.

But I think it would be great to optionally disconnect the input from the output. As @dceejay said, it should the thought through.

Thanks @openSoftMan!
