HI @Rubén LP

You need to get the reference to the flow item somehow, e.g. if the flow item is in a certain queue then you can access it by rank or possibly use an event triggered source in process flow as in the attached model (FlexSim 2018). Then you can access the label by flowitem.labelname. Note that the label names are case-sensitive so "mylabel" and "Mylabel" are not the same.

Hope this helps!

Worth adding that usually, in Process Flow, you will obtain a reference to a flow item in a token label, for example by an Acquire, Create Object or Pull From List. If that label is called, for example, Item, you could access the flowitem's labels through token.Item.MyLabel. (FlexSim recommends using PascalCasing for label names).
