Use Numeric Resource as Operator in Process Flow

I have 2 processors, 2 operators and 2 product types to go through the system.

Processing Product 1 does not need any operator, while processing Product 2 needs an Operator, so I use a numeric resource as token.resource, but it prompts error "Error: Bad Task Executer/Task Sequence reference in starting Task Executer activity "Process Item 1" in "Processor With Operator""

How to fix?

rtg-trial-02.fsm

If you don't need an operator you don't need to acquire any resource, just use a Delay activity to represent the time it takes to process the item. See the attached model.

delay.fsm
