Need to reverse direction of a mass flow conveyor

Just like giving negative target speed to a normal conveyor otherwise works well for reversing the direction of flow but for a mass flow conveyor it is not working.

Any other variables to consider for reversing the flow direction of a mass flow conveyor dynamically based on message trigger?

A sample code would be helpful

Regards,

Vivek

I'm pretty sure this isn't supported - you can't place an exit transfer at the start of the conveyor, or an entry transfer at the exit, and there are no options on the entry/exit transfers that would allow you to define what happens when the direction is reversed in terms of generating flow items.
