processor that successively changes labels on exit

How can I make a processor label the flow item different dependent on how many times the flow item enters the processor. I created a label named "processflow" at a processor named fabricator. I would like it to add the label value "1" on exit (i already know how to accomplish this part). Next the flow item goes to the "Weld" processor where I would like to add the label "processflow" with the value "2". Next we are going back to the same "Fabricator" processor and on exit I would like the label value "3" to be placed on the flow item. Ultimately I would like to use the labels to have the process time conditional to the label. This way I can simulate different processes happening at the same work station. Just to be clear each item that enters the first time has a label value of "1" when they enter again the label value increases.

Picklist option property in On Exit Trigger increment label - probably in section data. Such a label must be at item not on a processor.

Process Time: picklist option property by case. You read item label value to evaluate current used process time.

Hey there, thank you for answering my question. I'm not sure what you mean by "label must be at item not on a processor".

The default example for this picklist is on the label anyway so nothing to worry about:

Having trouble figuring it out ... can you provide me with an example file where the label increases as it goes into the processors
