How to find a node via the node ID and open it?

I run a workflow in a CRON job. Sometimes I get a warning or an execution failed:
eg WARN KNIME-Worker-10-GET Request 3:824 Node Cannot loop fewer than once
Is there an option to look up the node id nr(eg 3:824 with this warning) in a workflow and directly open it?

Hi @Burg , if you switch to classic UI, you can use the find option (probably ctrl+f or equivalent). Then type that ID into the search eg 3:824 and it will take you to the node.

Hi @takbb, thank you for your suggestion. I was hoping this would also be possible in de new UI. I will post a request for the feature.

Hi @Burg, yes indeed … porting of the Find feature is a much requested feature that is unfortunately still missing from the Modern UI. But you never know… maybe later this year. Let’s hope things go exceptionally well! :wink:

One thought… whilst it won’t help you locate the node in the workflow, in the latest versions (KNIME 5.4. onwards, I think but maybe slightly earlier), the Timer Info component received a small update so that it now shows Node Labels. Given that it also lists the node id, if your nodes have labels, and you have an idea where they might be on your workflow, you can at least drop this node on a workflow and then track down the node ID there, which will identify both the node type, and its label.

e.g.

Tnx for helping. Does the trick but not yet a solution.

I created this component to list all nodes in the current workflow.
It’s not very fancy, but helpful to find all nodes:

Just drag it into you KNIME Workflow and let it run.

Maybe it helps.
