how to create the flowitem with itemtype when 'Create Flowitem' trigger option

A model has about five hundred types of flowitem in the global type.

I will use 'Create Flowitem' in OnMessage of Source or Queue object.

But the trigger script of 'Create Flowitem' has only the quantity and Flowitem Bin rank.

I am using only rank 1 of 'Box' and want to transfer or set one type of five hundreds.

How can I do it?

I need help.

@david.seo maybe try to use another queue trigger, on entry / data / set itemtype and colour options, for example in order to define your itemtype when you receive the message, maybe you can use a percentage, a label or a globaltable information to create your rules. Regards.

I tried it from remote queue to the first queue to send message with direct center-link or script find command. But it is not applied, why?

I added the sample model.

@david.seo

Attached is a sample model of how you can assign an itemtype to flowitems that you create in a queue. The modified code for doing that is in the OnMessage trigger of the queue.
