According to the docu you referred to theres only _instance as a varible. I do not see instanceObj documented. Where did you read that instanceObject should be defined?

[Scrounger]

I tried all that are documented here: https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.docs/blob/master/docs/en/dev/adapterjsonconfig.md#js-functions

but only globalData and data working

as i wrote, i tried all from the documentation.

with _instance i get the following:

table item with autocompleteSendTo

                "deviceBlackList": {
                    "newLine": true,
                    "type": "table",
                    "sm": 12,
                    "md": 6,
                    "disabled": "!data.devicesEnabled",
                    "confirm": {
                        "condition": "!_alive",
                        "title": "Attention!",
                        "text": "This selection is only possible with a running instance!",
                        "ok": "Got it!",
                        "cancel": "cancel",
                        "type": "warning"
                    },
                    "items": [
                        {
                            "type": "autocompleteSendTo",
                            "title": "Choose which device should be excluded",
                            "attr": "mac",
                            "filter": true,
                            "sort": true,
                            "jsonData": "${_instance}",
                            "command": "deviceList",
                            "width": "60%"
                        },
                        {
                            "type": "checkbox",
                            "title": "Ignor in notifications",
                            "attr": "blacklisted",
                            "width": "15%"
                        }
                    ]
                }

the message i retrieve:

[onMessage]: {"command":"deviceList","message":null,"from":"system.adapter.admin.0","callback":{"message":null,"id":243,"ack":false,"time":1732199814887},"_id":88445551}

Browser console error:

instanceObj is defined in the code and in https://github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.admin/issues/1323

[Scrounger]

Thanks for fixing this, but i tested it with v7.4.2 and it is still not working.

I tried both instanceObj and _instance. Get the follwing browser console error:

and the messages for both looks like this:

[onMessage]: {"command":"deviceList","message":null,"from":"system.adapter.admin.0","callback":{"message":null,"id":491,"ack":false,"time":1732620141351},"_id":56710972}

[onMessage]: {"command":"deviceStateList","message":{"instanceID":"${_instance}","adapter":"${globalData}"},"from":"system.adapter.admin.0","callback":{"message":{"instanceID":"${_instance}","adapter":"${globalData}"},"id":492,"ack":false,"time":1732620141352},"_id":56710973}

OK. I investigated a bit and found following. instanceObj is only available if custom config edited.

Why do you need to send the instanceObj to backend, if backend can have this information just by accessing it with this.config and this.common?
