Copy container labels to packed items after separator

In attached model, two pallets go through a combiner and are packed onto another pallet. The contained pallet of the combined pallet is then assigned a slot in the rack system. How do I correctly copy these labels to the packed pallets if they have to go through a separator as shown in the system, so that the individual pallets after the separator go to the location assigned to their container pallet?

You could put this in the processFinish trigger of the seperator if you alway know there are two pallets in the packed pallet.

createcopy(item.attrs["labels"],item.first.as(Object).attrs["labels"],1,0,0,1);
createcopy(item.attrs["labels"],item.last.as(Object).attrs["labels"],1,0,0,1);

Do I remove the subflow after adding this trigger?

Yes - or use that subflow with the logic above and don't put it on the trigger.

Okay, I removed the subflow and put the logic on the separator's processFinish trigger. Separated pallets now have the slot and rack that the container pallet was assigned. So far so good. Now when moving these separated pallets to the rack, how do I currectly reference them? I used current as shown below, but it triggers exceptions.

What am I doing wrong and which part of the manual do I refer to have a better understanding of referencing for situations like this?

Many thanks for the help!
