Item not pulled from list

Hi all,

I have a problem in a model I am building. There is a token that needs to pull a item (steelLadle) from a list. There are steel ladles on the list, but nothing is pulled. You can see the pull activity and the list in the attachment. ( Note SL_PARTITION_EMPTY is equal to 1).

Can someone tell me what is going wrong?

If I try to pull something from the list in a script with the following code it works fine:

List list = List( "Steel Ladles" );

return list.pull( "",  1, 1, nullvar, SL_PARTITION_EMPTY );

I recently also had another problem with lists in the latest releases. A token was pulled from a list, but the token that pushed the token to the list did not leave the push to list activity. Are there more problems known with lists in the latest versions (17.1.6 and 17.2.1)?

@Patrick Zweekhorst

List("Steel Ladles") will give you a reference to a global list named 'Steel Ladles'. The list shown in your picture is a process flow list named 'Steel ladles'. These are not the same lists. Could that be your issue?

In a small sample model I didn't have any issues pulling from a global or local list with a partition that is defined by a macro.

Hi @Matt Long

The name "Steel ladles" in the process flow is just the name of the activity. The list in the processFlow points to the global list "Steel Ladles". So there is no problem here.

There is also no difference when I replace the macro by only the number 1, so using the macro does not matter.

Sorry, I'm not able to replicate any of these issues.
