I don't know what exactly your question is, since you already have a working solution.

Some tips:

- Currently you are creating a 'child' token. This token can (and does) access the parent's labels. This also means you have to make sure that the 'product' label does not get overwritten/changed. If that could a concern, it might be better to copy the label to the created token.

- Selecting the 'Create Tokens' activity will show a connection to the activity in which the token is created. If you use a 'Start' activity for this, that will also work in the opposite direction. (Selecting the start activity shows which activities connect to it)
This can be helpful to remember what purpose subflows have in a larger process flow.
