Change processor capacity before pulling

I have an GlobalList of items. Within the list I have label "processorCapacity" Can I change the processor capacity based off the item label before it pulls from the list?

This depends on the chain of events already in process. You have to find the last moment when you can change the capacity of the processor. Or you have to find the trigger which force the processor to start pulling items after setting a higher capacity.

My test scenario would be a chain of items entering a processor with capacity labels on them. This label I would evaluate on Entry of the processor and change the capacity. I'll observe when the capacity change have an effect: on the next or items later.

The other approach is to test if the command receiveitem can force a processor to start pulling again.

Another test is the combination of closing /opening input.

I am not familiar with the exact procedure how the pulling starts after the processor has set the input to be blocked and an event undependantly has changed the capacity.
