How to return name of crane through Sub Flow.

I want to use the sub flow option to pick the transporter. I tried referencing a table that has the name of the crane pointer, but I get the error that is it an invalid index. See model for reference. I also tried typing the name of the crane directly into the return field on the "Finish" activity in the Sub Flow, but was unsuccessful.crane-pointer.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.1.2

sub flow

crane-pointer.fsm (21.2 KiB)

Hi Kari,

This picklist option doesn't work the way you want it...

I wrote some code in "Use Transport" and it's referencing Crane correctly.:

string processflow = "SubFlow";
string startActivity = "Start";
string finishActivity = "Finish";
return executesubflow(processflow, current, startActivity, finishActivity);

You can find model attached.
