How to use Model.find to access label contained in variable

Hello, I am trying to store a label name in a variable, and then use Model.find("object").storedLabel to change the value of the physical label. But I am unable to figure out how to do this. This is what I currently have:

When I use Model.find("InputVariableController").propertyName, this code is not accessing the physical label of the InputVariableController.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.0

variable find model.find

The syntax you would need is:

Model.find(InputVariableController").labels[propertyName].value

By using the propertyName variable in the brackets like that, you searching for the string name of the label. Otherwise it assumes that the label is literally named propertyName.

Thanks for the quick reply. This solved the problem, and now my labels are updating, but it is giving me this error:

FlexScript exception: Property "value" accessed on invalid node. at MODEL:/Tools/GlobalTables/OutputExcelInput>variables/resettrigger

I am storing this code in the reset trigger of one of my global tables.

@Zach B3

Could you upload the model that has this error?

I actually just figured out the issue - there were not enough rows in the table which was causing this error. Thanks so much!
