Subflow Issues: State not updating and Processor ignoring Operator Requirement

Hi,

I have tried to assign operators for my processors via a subflow, as opposed to centerpoint to Dispatcher.

However I have noticed 2 things:

The Operators State will not update per the subflow (it will for 1, but not all 3?)
The second Processor, despite requiring an Operator will function without one being assigned

I've tried looking through the Help and other Answers, but am stumped on this one.
I have attached a mock up of the scenario.

Hello @Dustin B,

Your Processor's will need to be stopped to prevent them from processing without an operator. At the beginning of the subflow I implemented a custom code activity that takes care of that and a resume activity after the operator arrives.

One difficultly with setting states is them being immediately overwritten based on the actions and activities. For instance, The standby activity needs to be implemented after the finish task sequence because the finish task sequence will set the operator to idle. To try and mitigate this I created custom tasks for the processing and cleaning.
