Problem

You want to move a message property to a different property.

Solution

Use the Change node to move a property.

Discussion

The Change node can be used to move a property of a message.

It can be done as two separate actions in the Change node; first using a Set action to copy the property to its new location and then a Delete action to remove the original.

Alternatively, the node supports a Move action that does it in one step.
