Simple model but stuck on Separator

I was showing a very simply example to a colleague with newly installed version 20.2.

Somehow, separator won't pass flowitems to the queue unless I choose "Entire Contents" at Quantity filed. I meant to split 1 flowitem to 4 at separator.Sepatator.fsm

This is a bug in the Separator properties panel. The Separate Mode dropdown isn't setting the unpack variable to the right values. You can fix this in the tree by setting the separator's unpack variable to 0 for Split and 1 for Unpack. I did this in the attached model.

separator_fixed.fsm

Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll get this fixed for the next bug fix release.
