Why dosn't AGV pick up item when destination is set in custom code?

I am trying to create a model that doesn't use port connections. In the attached model, the destination of a flow item created by Source2 is set manually in custom code for the OnCreation Trigger. The flow items seem to be created correctly: when I click a flow item created by Source2, I see the label "destination" set correctly. However, the AGV never picks up flow items created by Source2. Why not?

TIA.

Queue2 will wait to fire the Use Transport logic until the destination becomes available. Without the port connection, Queue2 will wait indefinitely.

My suggestion is to use the Push to List option on Queue2's Send To Port logic instead of the Use Transport logic.
