You could create an item directly in the 'On Apply' code of the edit field, so it would probably be more convenient to add a button to the dashboard that does this.

First, link the edit field to a node in the model. In the attached model I used a label on Queue1 for this. Now other parts of the model can access the value in the field through that node.

I linked the button to the queue (for an easy reference to the label and because I want to create the item in the queue). In its 'OnPress' code I then create an instance of an object in the FlowItem Bin with the same name as the text in the edit field.

treenode link = node("..>objectfocus+", c);
 
// Read the label on the queue
string itemName = link.Create;
// Create item in model
Object item = createinstance(Model.find("Tools/FlowItemBin/" + itemName + "/1"), model());
// Move item into queue
moveobject(item, link);

If you dont want to use the name (or rank) of the flowitem directly, you can of course write if-conditions such as the following, to determine the correct item type.

treenode link = node("..>objectfocus+", c);
 
string itemName = "";
string itemCode = link.Create;
if(itemCode == "B11") {
    itemName = "Box";
}
if(itemCode == "P22") {
    itemName = "Pallet";
}
 
if(itemName != "") {
    Object item = createinstance(Model.find("Tools/FlowItemBin/" + itemName + "/1"), model());
    moveobject(item, link);
}

And I have one question.

What should I do ?

If I want to clear text in edit field when I click the button "Create in Queue".

What command code do I have to write in 'OnApply' of edit field or write in 'OnProcess' of Create in Queue button ?

Since the label is linked to the edit field, you only have to reset it to an empty string after creating the item in the 'OnPress' of the button.

link.Create = "";

OK. Thank You so much. It work.

And now I wonder. Will it be possible ?

If when edit field have a text (OnApply) it will create Item and text in edit field are clearing (Auto Create).

Such as edit field get a text and I will coding to " delay(300); " then Item will arrive and passing 0.3 sec edit field will clear text inside.
