How do I find the storage object based on the slot?

Hi community,

I have 10-15 racks and I found slots using "find slot" activity and now I am trying to move created flow items into those slots. How do I refer to the specific storage item from the slot?

For example: slot label on the token says - /Rack_F_3>variables/bays/1/levels/1/slots/1

and I am trying to identify Rack_F_3 in this case

After you find a slot and store it in 'token.slot' ,using 'Assign Labels 'activity' and creat a new label with value'token.slot.as(Storage.Slot).storageObject',it will return that rack.

You're welcome! I just did a test,ownerobject(token.slot) seems to work a little more rapidly.

It will work more rapidly the second time you use it as ownerobject is cached. For nodes that move around you should not use this to find the parent object - in that case you use 'findownerobject()' - for slots it should be fine.
