Pick up items depending on batch size

Hello!!

I want to make a process flow where an operator can pick the number of items batched by a queue and transport all of them to another queue. The target size of the first queue is 3 and if after 30 seconds the queue can't complete the batch, it is released.

Attached to this question you can find my first attempt.

The first problem I have is that the operator loads 3 boxes but only unloads 1. The other 2 are still carried by the operator.

The second problem is that I don't know how to assign to Run subflow quantity, the released batched size (in case the target size is not completed).

Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much @Gokulakrishnan Kandasamy. Can you explain me how the following works:

1. Aggregation: Make Array at Batch label assigment

2. Item value at Run Subflow.

Thank you in advance!

@Mercedes U, token.items holds all items as an array.token.items[num index] returns an element of the aray by its index. creationRank is a declared variable of the source code header of the code editor at the assign field. It returns an index of the currently created child token of the sub flow.
