Default Pull From Source

Good Morning,

(Version 5.1.2) - Hoping there is a quick answer to this one (seems like there should be). I've set up a model with a queue set to pull directly from a source. The source is set with a schedule of 3 different itemtypes. On play the queue will pull all itemtype 1's as it is initially set to do. It is at this time that the first of the item type 2's gets created and held in the sources sub-tree. Later in the simulation I change the pull requirement to itemtype 2 however the previously created item is already held and does not allow the itemtype 2's to pull. "On Entry" to the last processor of the last itemtype 1 sets the new pull requirement.

I'd really like to know if/how I can make this work. I can think of other ways to control the items, but I liked the simplicity of this and would like to know the why behind the held item(s) and if/how they can be released under the new condition.

Thanks so much,
Ryan

When you update the label open the input of the queue too.
