how does the logic to redirect a flowitem in the conveyor system work?

Hi,

today I try to redirect a flowitem in the conveyor system and everything works perfectly. But when I use a task executer to move the flowitem from a conveyor to an other one in the same conveyor system, the same logic changes behavior. Can somebody help me? Is it a bug or a not supported feature? In the second case I can change the position of my decision point!

Thanks in advance.

From what I understand, when the operator loads or unloads an item, the conveyorsenditem command/information is reset. Because the item is no longer on the conveyor, that data is reset or lost. IF you want the redirect logic in place you'll have to place the triggers or DP at some point AFTER the item is reloaded onto the conveyor.
