Staff assignment based on token label

I've reviewed some other answers and this seems relatively easy but I can't get it to work. I assign a label to the token based on which OR is acquired. After acquiring the OR and assigning the label (token.OR), I try to acquire an RN based on the assigned OR label. On the shared resource activity properties I'm trying to choose staff based on the condition: token.OR? == "OR1" , if true then: Model.find("ORRN1") and if false Model.find("ORRN2"). The model keeps selecting ORRN2 even though the acquired OR was OR1. It seems fairly straight forward.

The issue is that you're comparing the object on the OR label to a text value:

token.OR? == "OR1"

You need to use the Model.find() command to turn the text "OR1" into an object reference:

token.OR? == Model.find("OR1")

Here's a sample model where I get an RN based off which OR I just acquired. I'm using the By Case pickoption on the Staff resource and for the Case Function I'm using the getlastacquiredresourcecommand():

getlastacquiredresource(getactivity(processFlow, "OR"), token)
