In the dimension editor select the level /bay combination you want to change and type the number of slots you need in that location.

This may not be supported in future so don't use this throughout your model - better to put it in a user command so if it stops being supported you can change the command to something that is.

Storage.Object rack=current;
int numslots=3;
for (int b=rack.bays.length;b>0;b--){  //bays
    for (int l=rack.bays.levels.length;l>0;l--){  //levels
        function_s(rack, "setNumSlots", numslots, [[b,l,1]]);  
    }
}

I think this code modify the number of slots for bays with those number [b,l,1]

Sorry - there was a typo in my original post - I've updated it.

But you can see the call to set the slots just uses numeric values for the bay and level - so in your case you would use:

Storage.Object rack=Model.find("Rack1");
int bay=2;
int level=1;
int numslots=5;
function_s(rack,"setNumSlots",numslots,[[bay,level,1]]);

Yes it works thank you so much for your help.

And can we change the size of slots, size by slots and not all the slots with same size?

There is a related post here.

In the solution there is a user command (setSlotSizes) where we pass the storage object's level of a bay and an array of slot sizes. Since the code is altering the tree directly it could be that in the future this command will not longer work.

/**Custom Code*/
treenode level =param(1);
Array sizes=param(2);
treenode bay=level.up.up;
double width=bay.subnodes["size"].value;
double loc=0;
int numsizes=sizes.length;
treenode slotholder=level.subnodes["slots"];

while (slotholder.subnodes.length<numsizes+1){
    treenode newslot=createcopy(slotholder.first,slotholder);
    newslot.subnodes["slotItems"].subnodes.clear();
    newslot.subnodes["slotLabels"].subnodes.clear();
}
treenode slot;
for (int n=1;n<=numsizes;n++){
    slot=slotholder.subnodes;
    slot.subnodes["size"].value=sizes;
    slot.subnodes["loc"].value=loc;
    loc+=sizes;
}
slot=slotholder.last;
slot.subnodes["size"].value=width-loc;
slot.subnodes["loc"].value=loc;
