How do i get taskexecuters to fill their capacity from the same source

I have a couple of taskexecuters coordinated to move items from many sources to one rack, i don't want the taskexecuters to pick each item from a different source (i mean queue), they should try to fill their capacity (yes, i set the capacity > 1), they should visit a second queue only if the first queue visited didn't fill their carrying capacity

many thanks

A source isn't an appropriate object to feed an operator with multiple items. Please insert a queue after a source. Then you can see how many items are available, too. you have to activate the option load from the same Loadstation in the Break to function in the properties of the the operator.

i was expecting something a little bit more technical, i don't know if it will suffice to configure the right element or i will need to do some coding
