How to add a custom animation to the female & male person?

I was able to add a custom animation to the male person in the Flow Item Bin. However, I noticed the female operator didn't adopt the custom animation. So, I tried switching the person's gender in the Flow Item Bin to female and adding a custom animation again. The female person now was performing the custom animation, but the male person no longer was.

I should mention that when I switched back to the male gender and checked the animation list I noticed that my custom animation was no longer listed.

Here's the file and a couple of screenshots.

The female operator in this screenshot is performing the correct animation.

The male operator has lost the animation that I added to it.

The uploaded file did not keep the animation you wanted for the female, it was defaulting to another animation. One suggestion is copy your flow item person, create one female and one male and add the custom animation to both. Then have your decision point decide which operator to create.

I know how to select an object from the FlowItemBin as it's created in a Source. And, I know I can change the 3D shape that references a file using the Change Visual. But how would I change the object after it's been created selecting from the FlowItemBin?
