How can i call back flow item with same conveyor ? (Like Bi Directional Conveyor).

The conveyor allows item move from input to output port, I want to call back the same item to input without allowing sink.

As it is fairly common for conveyors to be able to move items both forwards and backwards, are there any plans to implement this behaviour for the new conveyors in the future?

Thanks Arun...So there is no way to do like this Conveyors.

Without really much work, no. You have still the possibility to build an object from the beginning. Add a Basic Fixed Resource object and implement the conveyor behaviour by using kinematics. But that is not recommended. Then it is better to use the anymore supported basic conveyor object of the conveyor legacy.

Other possible objects and methods to consider are

flow nodes,
kinematics,
hidden Taskexecuters with and without a network,
two conveyors at the same location switching on the visibility of the 3D shape and transferring the items to the second conveyor. You have to delete the events of the previous used conveyor.
