The new Expression node doesn’t seem to have materialized in 5.3.0

You can quickly get it by installing the KNIME Expressions extension :wink:

Did the 5.3 update uninstall all extensions?

Had something similar with Expressions node not showing in nodes / or as an uninstalled extension, and a few other quirks. I did a fresh install of 5.3 and cleaned everything up.

Also don’t forgot to check this annoying option that only displays certain starter nodes if you’re using Modern UI.

Unable to see any output views or tables in classic UI of KNIME 5.3
Getting the common error as below line -

Unhandled Event Loop Exception

Request some guidance please. Unsure if this is my system or some settings issue.

@sourav2006 this is a known issue that is going to get fixed soon. You can mitigate it by switching to Modern UI and then back if, like me, prefer CUI.

Hello!
Any updates on Knime Server 4.17 planned release date? We are in the process of upgrading our server but we are already using AP 5.3 in teams.
