You will need to run code for this to work, you can have this code run on a model reset trigger so it will update everytime you reset the model.

 getvarnode("YourQueue/Rack","maxcontent").value=Table("YourTable")[Row]][Column]

Dear @Joshua S

I want to setup the maximum content for the queue from the global table. And I run the code for this on a model run trigger. I want to make the queue maxcontent is 137.

Like this picture.

But there is an error.
The number to the Global table is imported by Excel. The Excel will change, so I need to set the number by global table.

Do you know how can I fix this problem?

Thanks a lot.
