Hi @wang W2,

Can you attach your model? It will really help us solve your problem.

This Pull from List Template window is available in Pull Strategy function of fixed resources object properties. The Input Pull mechanism pulls only one item by design. You cannot increase this there.

Perhaps if you build a code logic that moves all condition matching items by moveobject command in OnEntry trigger or process flow activity into the fixed resource, will be creating the desired effect.

so here is my solution: .

I want to mark all items on the list, when Pull From List meets my condition. Therefore I put a Push Argument field on the list. I can change the value, when I push items a second time to the list. I call this argument field mustPulled. When I have set the argument, the WHERE condition must pull those values, too.

I push the items a second time through an adjusted source code in Pull Strategy. The yellow marked code is the original.

First I collect all items from the list matching the same Type as the pulled item in an array. Then I push the array of items again onto the list, but this time with the 1st argument set to value 2.

As an example model:pull_all_items_by_type_by_amount_of_4.fsm

thankyou but I found that command receiveitem in the on creation trigger,I know that this command Tells the FixedResource station to open its inputs and receive a flowitem.

but i dont How it works in this model,I think without this command FixedResource also can recieve flowitems.

thank you very much

@wang W2,

The receiveitem command is necessary because you are not using other logic, such as output ports or Process Flow to transfer the item into the Queue. Essentially, the queue is being treated as a BasicFR in this situation. At least, that is how I understand it. So I believe Jörg is on the right track. Here's the documentation on "receiveitem" that may be helpful.
