Processors not processing after first flowitem

I am trying to build basic logic that I will use for a larger model but am having two main problems.

  1. Both the processor and multiprocessor stop processing flowitems after the first flowitem is done. Why?
  2. The multiprocessor should process items based on their TestType label that I am assigning. If TestType 1, then processing time should be 15 seconds. If TestType 2, then processing time should be 35 seconds. Instead, the item that is being processed is taking 50 seconds. Why?

1. You don't release the resource after the process is finished.

2. Because the wait for event is still pointing to Processor1 and not the multiprocessor.

On the multiprocessor you probably want to wait for the second process to finish or you will get strange results:
