Hi @Aaditya J,

To make it easier for us to diagnose the issue, could you upload the model shown or a replication of this model for us to examine?

This is a bug in the State Pie chart. It has been fixed for 18.2.3.

To work around this for now, follow these steps:

Install the template
Open the Process Flow for the template
Add an activity called Get StateNode:
Delete the Set CurState activity
Change the Set Utilization activity:
Change the Wait for Event activity. To listen to OnChange, use the sampler to sample a Tracked Variable in the Toolbox. Then replace the reference to the Tracked Variable with the correct code:
Make sure the connectors are correct:

At this point, the chart should work. Here is a demo model you can reference.

The process flow template does work for my case. Thanks you for the response.
