Hello @m4xwe11o, and thanks for the kind words! A question. The dummy data that you provided, is it input data that is already coming in to the DOCXTemplater node, or is it how you'd want data to appear? In other words, is that data generated as you show by a previous node (say an API call or a DB), or is it just the shape that you wrote the Word template to expect? |

Hello again! I think your Code node is fine. I believe that the issue is that the function that you should call is now called
If you use Code to write transformers, those are different because you can manually set a "Tool Name" inside their configuration. For nodes that don't have that special config, such as Date&Time nodes, they take their name from the node name. You can also see that because, in the log that you shared, there's this line: which indicates that you can use Try to change your template to say |

@m4xwe11o In your original post you have the entire data section in [...] What I did find is that all formatter names MUST be in lowercase |

Are you using the example template unmodified? If modified can you give me a copy so I can have a look at it for you. I just changed the invoice date on the template to read like Output: [{"currentDate":"2025-07-07T20:02:37.366-04:00"}] and in the footer I have Output: 2025-07-07T20:02:37.396-04:00 Check all the opening and closing tags make sure you do not have {{ or }} |

Ahoi, I used these 2 nodes for my testing: I realy think that my JSON object somehow interferes with the now function of the node. |

Does your input JSON perhaps have a property called Also, did you get a chance to try the ideas in #2 (reply in thread)? Namely, in your most recent screenshot the tool was called |

Are you able to post the JSON code here so we can have a look at it

If I manually set the data in the render it works

Ahoi!
I found your repository and think it's the perfect solution for my workflow.
May I ask for your expertise to solve the following issue?
I have a JSON input that looks like this - it's just dummy data that I use to create an invoice
In the Data field of the node I can put in the following and get the list populated as outlined:
I wonder if there is a way to do this in a automated way like using javascript in a code node.
Hence I can access the JSON data via {{ $json.items[0].description }} i was wondering if the can be code surrounding the formated output.
Thank you very much for your help!
BR Maximilian
