Create object conditional flowitems

There seems to be a bug in the Create Object - Object dropbox. Unless I choose a specific Flowitem all other options do not work.bug-in-createobject.fsm

As seen in the attached example model, I want to choose a specific Flowitem type based on token.Job so I tried using a conditional decide but there is a bug when I do so. How can I report this bug?

Alternatively, how can I reference the proper flowitem type using token.Job ?

Thanks,

To specify a specific flowitem in the Object field you need to put a number - the rank of the flowitem in the flowitem bin. For example, if you type a 2 directly into that field the view text updates to say Cylinder.

Switch your Job label column to use number data and then put numbers on that label.

That works. Thanks.

But have you tried clicking on any of the options in the Object dropdown?

They all give this error even when I haven't edited anything:

Flexscript Error Line 1syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting ')' or ',' Could not finish parsing because of previous errors.

Yes, this is a bug we've fixed for 17.1.3. It's actually just the options with a backslash in the name. You can still use the code behind those options if you copy them from another version of the software and paste it in the code editor. I can post the code here if you have a specific option you need to use.

Funny the software doesn't tell me to update (I have 7.1.2). It doesnt flag that there is an update.
