You can only match on the fields you have, so use the one for 'Token'.

Model attached.4-waitforeventcheck_jl.fsm

Or you can use the Synchronise or Join activities.

Hi @Jason Lightfoot

Thank you for your answer!

Can you explain little bit more? What do you mean by field here since I am having the label ID on both the token in parallel? Is it not possible to match based on label "ID" value?

What is purpose of using token.children[1]?

I just meant the fields in the Label Matching/Assignment table as shown. There isn't one for ID of the token, so you can't match on it.

Your split creates a child token, so the way of getting a reference to it is using token.children[1].

@Jason Lightfoot

I have 1 more question if I can.

I have to use wait for event in both the split branch. It is working in 1 branch as we discussed. What changes are required if we want to make it work for other branch also?

Thank you!

Then you use token.parent on the child token and you need to turn allow label access on the child tokens, since both now have a label called otherToken. That's an option on the split activity.

Again, the synchronise activity would do this too, but then that forces your process layout to merge at the sync. activity.
