Hi, is there a way to directly access the entity root properties from within a “Node, transform nodes” entity transformer? (without, for example, copying them to the nodes first).

Hi @ben, Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, at the moment, it is only possible to access the value of properties by copying the required properties into the node.
