You can only prevent an item to exit an object. An item gets assigned an output port to leave an object. This is done in Send to Port function. If you assign a Port number that is not available or by assigning a value of minus one an item gets stuck in an object. If you want to assign a new exit port you call on this item the command of releaseitem again and set as a parameter an available exit port.

You can bypass an hold item by command of moveobject, transferring the object node into another object or by transporting such an item by a taskexecuter.
If you want to keep all items inside an object, you can close the output of this object or you close the input of receiving objects.
Process Flow has got the ability to override all internal mechanism of flow management.
