display mqtt received messages

hi
is there a way to display on an oled (or other type of displays) some messages received by mqtt from other devices (espeasy or whatever)?
for example, at work we have a commercial monitoring system which can publish the values of its sensors... i'd like to subscribe to those topics and display them on the oled, or just publish on display something received from node-red, for example, via mqtt
i searched but unsuccessfully... and the mqtt-import plugin only works with numbers...
thanks in advance

No it's not possible to import a string value. Please open a request/issue on Github for that.

so there's no way to assign some mqtt received message to some variable or the like? without using the mqtt-import, of course, for its limitations about strings...
sorry, still studying this firmware, very well done, so i can miss something...
