Default Container with only one In- and Output

Hi guys,

I´m wondering if it is possible to create a Container and connect it with only one Input, and Output for sending Items to more than one Object in it.

I tryed Standard functionality and as far as I see I have to create as many Connections as objects are in Container.

If there is an easy solution it would be gorgeous to find out how and where to set the "Send to" logic.
What I´m trying to do in one of the next steps is to use Operator to Transport Items from one Container to another one. If possible directly to the place the item is needed. Thiswhy I don´t created a Queue in the Container to send items to specific ports. Because this way Operator would have to unload/ load to Queue at first.
The other solution I found is to create my own Tasksequences and decide where to go at the first NN in my Container. But I hope there exists a way with less programming effort!?

Hello Sebastian,

you will probably find not such direct object.
If you use a network for your taskexecuter, you can send all flowitems to a standard object inside the container and change the traveler's destination on the first Network Node inside the container on arrival. As you know, you have to update the transportin variables at the fixed resources on your own. The same method is working for the outgoing flowitems probably to. You can store the true destination in a flowitem label.

The advanced method would be to change the flowitem sending or receiving functions of the library object.
