Processor with operator default process flow issue

I created a simple model of the "Processor with operator" default process flow. I followed the instructions but seem to have a few issues.

Without checking the "use transport" checkbox on the processor, then the tokens never seem to get to the sink:

When I do check the "use transport" box, the following error comes up (An invalid task has been encountered).

I was wondering if the Transport Ref Source was getting fired too often, but I couldn't find any documentation on the "TransportReference" event.

What am I doing wrong here? I would eventually like to get this process flow to incorporate batching, pulling from lists, dynamic routing based on failure rates, while using operators. For a first step I wanted to get this basic process flow running in order to learn. I have attached the model. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

Michael

When you add a process flow template, some of them create an object in your Library that are built specifically for that process flow, it has less logic and is more controlled through process flow. Replace your current processor with the one from the library, connect everything up and it should run how you want it to.
