I cannot find Constant Value Column after upgrading KNIME to 5.8.0

[nlsc1001]

I was going to create a new column, “Returned”, with constant value (boolean), false.

1. I was unable to find the node, Constant Value Column.
2. I tried to use similar node, such as Constant Value Column Appender. But it set true as default when I define it Boolean type and there is no way to set the value false.
3. I was wondering where to find Constant Value Column. I set my preference as all nodes.

Thank you for reading my question.

Hi @nlsc1001 , welcome to the KNIME forum.

You are correct that the new node for this functionality is the Constant Value Column Appender which has replaced the old node in 5.8.

It is possible to set the Boolean value to false, but I can see that the new interface for the node causes a little confusion.

When you specify that you wish to set a custom value, a checkbox labelled “custom value” appears instead of a “True/False” dropdown. On first usage, this makes it look like you are ticking an option to allow you to set the value, but in fact this IS the value

Ticking this checkbox sets the value to true. Leaving it unticked sets the value to false

If you really need access to the old node, you can find it by searching the node palette for
constant value column //deprecated
but hopefully you will no longer need it!

Your explanation is very clear and helpful. I have no further questions at this time. Thank you so much for your help.

All the best,
