Query resource based on token label.

I am having trouble using acquire resource based on token label. For example, the crane in 3D has a craneNumber label. In process flow -> acquire -> query, I try to use the following phrase "WHERE craneNumber = token.acquireCraneTip". The token has the label acquireCraneTip as the number 1.

If I have the number directly in the acquire query box, it works. However, when I put token label, I get an error "Must by a treenode type Variant". Any way to fix this or is there a better way to query resources with labels? I don't want to use a list but I know it may be the better option lol.

Try your query like this: WHERE craneNumber = puller.acquireCraneTip . If your resource is referencing the cranes, the token acts like a puller from a list, so you would access the token's labels as the "puller" on the resource.
