I want to animate a flow item

I want to animate a flow item, but I get an error.

What's wrong?

How should I set it?

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.3

flexsim 20.1.3 animation flowitems item

The name of the animation should be in quotes - so "Walk".

When selected from the property pull-down menu, it is not enclosed in quotation marks.

Is this a configuration issue? Is it a FlexSim bug?

Also, the first item will animate, but the second item will not.

In my 20.1.3 the example is in quotes:

I see what you mean now - if you select item as the object then it gives a list of animations and selecting one of those doesn't add the quotes - appears to be a bug.

In my 19.0.9, 20.0.9, 20.1.3, 20.2.3, there are no quotes when selecting from the pull-down menu.

The active animation is "Stand" you should stop that first - example in the attached model.

I was able to move normally by stopping "Stand".

By the way, is there a way to find out about active animation?

Or is there a way to stop all animations?
