Published event not updating data [Rules Engine]

Troubleshooting
1

Hey. I’m using the rules engine with firebase right now to publish an event to particle but after initial publishing of say the number 1, even if I change the number that I’m “publishing” it will still only print the value of 1.

Does any one know why? Can you not constantly update the value of an event your publishing? This is using a Argon.

Could we see some code or setup of that?

I think the issue probably lies in the “input labels” part of the code. I’m definitely updating the value of the data from the function I made (i’m msg.payloading to confirm that), but for some reason that’s not updating the data of the publishevent.

did you see the updated code? now when i publish the data to two individual publish statements, it works, but that’s not gonna be helpful for what i need to do. why can’t I just change the event and overwrite what i’m publishing?

I know this post is a bit dated and refers to a function call, but maybe they are related and the node hasn't been updated yet
