This behaviour is only found in some nodes and can have unexpected consequences as described in this [issue](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/issues/399). Therefore, message overriding has been deprecated. In future nodes and future releases `msg.some_property` will only be used if the property is not set in the node. Nodes currently using the override functionality will continue to function in this release but will also receive a warning noting that this behaviour is deprecated.
