OK, got it to work. It does not register in the Expression Builder but will work if the syntax is correct.

Thats weird, works perfectly for me. This is a basic one that we use quite a lot so not too sure why its not working on your end...

Sound good, even seems to be documented in the wiki you linked but does not seem to work. The expression builder does not recognize the .FeatureName and returns my "Failure Value" in the Item Type when used.

Hi Mike,

It should be this.GetElement().FeatureName.

Remember to set the "Last Valid Value" to true so this property is retained when used in Microstation or iTwin (when the property is not able to be calculated outside the Civil environment)
