Why is label reference possible in staff resources?

If you try to refer to "resource" using the label value in the processing flow, an error will occur with the message "Reference cannot be a number. Reference should be set to Numeric and the count field should be used instead."

I can understand that this is because the "resources" are independent.


However, if you do the same thing with "staff resource", no error will occur. Why is this?

Hello @Ryusuke T,

Your token.resource is not working because the standard resource does not let you call the token in the field like it does in the Health Care resource.

The reality is that the standard resource and the health care resource are not the same. The standard Resource executes the Reference field on reset, while the Staff Resource doesn't until the Acquire Staff activity.
