Unable to get Rack path from token address using Storage.system.getSlot

[ FlexSim 21.0.4 ]

[Question]
I am creating a Process Flow that specifies the rack address in the global table, creates items in order, and picks the created items.
I created a parameter called "Destination" in <Assign Labels> and used Storage.system.getSlot to assign the path of the rack that created the item.
After that, I'm trying to get information about the object (in this case the Rack) that picks the item.
However, "Destination" becomes <no path>, and the object that created the item becomes NULL.

[Version]
FlexSim 21.0.4

[OS]
Windows 10 Pro (x64) 20H2
OS build 19042.870

[Phenomenon]
Please Check "TrainingProcessFlow.fsm" and "GetSlotError.xlsx" with the error image pasted.
When you execute <Step> several times in "TrainingProcessFlow.fsm", an exception occurs.
This message is probably caused by the "Rack" parameter being NULL.
When you click on the created token, "Destination" is <no path>.

Your address is not complete.

Here is an approach of a shortened address scheme

And if you assign successfully a slot, you get the rack object by the property storageObject. Maybe you have to cast the token label value of the slot directly as(Storage.Slot) to evaluate the storage object.
