How can I change the visual of a source by FlexScript?

Does anybody have an idea how I can change the visual of an event triggered source in the Processflow when I'm using FlexScript to enable/ disable it? To fill the checkbox I used these expressions and they worked properly:

setvarnum(Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow/Source"), "enabled", 0);

setvarnum(Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow/Source"), "enabled", 1);

But even if the source is enabled, the event triggered source is crossed out:

Thank you in advance!

Hi @fiona.k, The icon on my source does not change when I enable/disable the node. Can you post an example model of what you are seeing?

To get the icon to update you need to call the "updateIcon" function on the activity as well.

treenode source = Model.find("Tools/ProcessFlow/ProcessFlow/Source");
setvarnum(source, "enabled", checked);
function_s(source, "updateIcon");

Hello @Fang J,

When I place a "Breathe" activity (Delay activity with a delay value of 0) between the custom code and create object activities it works great. Here is a post that gives some explanation for "Breathe" activities.
