Is it possible to bulk transfer all label names and values from a pulled token?

I am currently creating process flow lists in FlexSim that involve tokens with many labels. When pulling a token from the list, using Assign Labels to manually enter in each of the label names and values from the pulled token is taking a lot of time. Is there a way to bulk transfer all of the label names and values from the pulled token to the new token that emerges after the Pull from List activity? Thanks in advance for your help.

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.0.9

process flow lists label flexsim 20.0.9 pulled token

Yes - include the label names after a SELECT in the query field.

Example attached.

Thanks, @jason.lightfoot. Just to clarify, is there not an option like "SELECT *" such that the individual label names don't need to be typed in again?

No that I know of sorry - there are unsupported ways of coding it that will break under some cases. Do the labels have to reside on the tokens? Do they not represent something persistent in 3D that could have the labels instead? Or can you preserve the 'main' token and just access it via the pointer?

Thanks again @jason.lightfoot. It's a mixture of what can reside on persistent 3D objects and what needs to stay in process flow. Good point about preserving the main token... I will consider that in the future. Thanks!
