[BUG]: Upcoming Node - Before/After do not accept input from previous message #187

Description

@cdhbrooks

Describe the bug
Using an Upcoming Events node with a match filter on start date. The before and after fields give the option for a String format or a message part from the previous node. The string option works fine but the message option does not - the node claims to be incorrectly configured when the flow is deployed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. attempt to configure the node to use msg.payload.xxx or msg.xxx as passed in from the previous node
  2. error at deploy regarding incorrectly configured node

Expected behavior
I expected to be able to pass in before and after strings from a previous node.

This works fine:

This gives an error:
