The Data value node is a simple data source node that provides static data values for workflows. This node serves as a constant data provider that outputs configurable values in different data types (Text, Number, JSON, Knowledge), enabling workflows to start with predefined data or provide default values for processing pipelines.
The node allows users to configure both the data type and the actual value through parameters, creating a reliable source of static data that flows to downstream nodes. This makes it essential for testing workflows, providing initial values, creating constants for calculations, or supplying default data when other data sources are unavailable.
