A event driven create token activity acts on an entry event of a queue and assigns a reference to involved item to a token as a label called "item".

You create three items in a process flow create object activity. You assign those three items to an array called "items". In a custom code activity you rename the array reference to the same name as the item, which was created by the event driven source activity. Unfortunately doing something with an array reference works only on the first element on an array.

This means you have not renamed all elements but only the first

token.items.name = token.item.name;

is

token.items[1].name = token.item.name;

this is a convention in addressing an array

you need to rename each single element reference in an array to fulfill what you want to achieve by a loop for example so:

for (int index 1; index <= token.items.length; index++)
    token.items[index].name = token.item.name;
