How do I find the label names and values for a storage slot?

I have many storage units (a mixture of racks and floor storage) in a model and within any given storage unit, slot labels are the same for all slots.

How can I check the labels on a given slot programatically?

I can access a slot on a given storage unit by e.g.:

string storageName = "MyStorageUnit"; treenode su = Model.find(storageName); Storage.Slot slot = Storage.system.findSlot("WHERE slot.storageObject == $1", 0, su);

But how do I either find the value for a particular slot label, or find all values for all slot labels for this slot?
I have tried syntax like...

return slot.slotSKU;

...where slotSKU is definitely a valid label applied to all slots in the storage unit, but this gives me the following exception:

exception: FlexScript exception: MAIN:/project/exec/consolescript c: <no path> i: <no path>

Storage.Object rack = Model.find("Rack_A"); Storage.Slot testSlot = rack.getSlot(3,2,1);//getslot: Bay, Level, Slot Array allSlotLabels = testSlot.as(treenode).find("slotLabels").subnodes.toArray(); print(allSlotLabels);

enhanced to flatten all slot labels by a slot query and a table query

Array allSlots = Storage.system.querySlots("",0); Table.query("SELECT $3 AS SLOTLabel FROM $1x$2", allSlots.length, allSlots[$iter(1)].as(treenode).find("slotLabels"), $iter(2) ).cloneTo(Table("Dump1")); // not necessary as(treenode) Array allNodes = Table("Dump1").clone(); print(allNodes);

here is an example to get slots by label value:

Array allSlots = Storage.system.querySlots("WHERE slot.storageObject.name = 'Rack_B' AND slot.SKU = 1",0); print(allSlots);
