Hello,
In the following sample model I created a situation where an item is pushed to a list with a label, the label then changes value as it moves to another queue. I then use a pull from list in the process flow to pull items of one specific value. However it pulls items that are the wrong value. It pulls items that are type 1 as opposed to only pulling items that are type 2. Attached the sample model:
Thanks in advance!

When you use "value.item" FlexSim does not know what type of variable it is dealing with at that point, so it treats it as a Variant value. For Variants, type is a method to read their, well, type; whether they are a string, number, node or array. The item is a node for which "type" will return the number 2. So the list field takes on the value 2 for all tokens that are pushed to the list.
Either change the label name to something else that doesn't double as method for Variants or use one of the tow expressions below.
// Tell FlexSim that "item" is an object value.item.as(Object).type // Tell Flexsim specifically that "type" is a label node value.item.labels["type"].value
