I want the combiner to combine Type 1 and Type 2 box and then assign new label of Type = Type 5 and ItemName = Product 5.
I used On Exit trigger on the combiner but it doesn't update the box's label.
Issue with label at combiner not update new label in On Exit trigger

You need to put "Product5" in quotation marks since it is a string.
It worked when the box is in Queue9. However, the ItemName label changes from Product5 to Product1when the box moves from Queue9 to QueueIn2.
Here are the Set Label on the Queue9's On Entry trigger:
Queue9 label on box:
QueueIn2 label on box:
I even added the code to Combiner to delete all labels on exit trigger but still has issue.
- item.attrs.labels.subnodes.clear();
When the items re-enter QueueIn2, the Process Flow that reacts to this assigns them new values. Add a Decide activity in the Process Flow so that items are only assigned values if they don't already have them.
I have added a conditional decide in the process flow but it doesn't seems to work.
For "Assign Labels: Get Table Data" and "More Steps", should I use the actual name of the item (Item.name) or the label (Item.ItemName)?
For the product5, if I want to use the actual name, can I match the actual name to the latest "ItemName"?
Personally I'd use the label, but I don't see a reason why the name wouldn't work.
You can of course always change the name according to the label.
Either in a code snippet in a trigger (item.name = item.ItemName) or in a Custom Code activity (token.Item.name = token.Item.ItemName).
Let's stick with only using the label as ItemName.
Under the Decide (Has ItemName?) port #2's Assign Labels: Get Table Data (Assign Label).: Get Table Data, I updated "token.Item.name" to "token.Item.ItemName".
Under the Decide (Has ItemName?) port #1's Assign Labels: Get Table Data (Assign Label), I updated "token.Item.name" to "token.Item.ItemName".
Under More Steps (Decide), I updated the "== token.Item.name" to "== token.Item.ItemName" in More Steps (Decide) in the process flow.
I am getting this error.
But then, it seems to work if I keep the "token.Item.name" and not update it to "token.Item.ItemName" under the Decide(Has ItemName?) port #2's Assign Labels: Get Table Data.
I am a little confused when the token gets assign the "name" and why I cannot use all ItemName as label everywhere in the token.
The token enters that activity because it does not have the "ItemName" label yet. Here you can't use the label to get the row to then get the label value. I missed that when saying that either would work.
That said, you can avoid even needing to assign the "ItemName" label in Process Flow if you do it directly in the source.
