I have a script being run from an expression in a UDT property.  
When transfering this over to 8.0 I found that there was no option to use {PathToParentFolder} in the UDT properties.  
Image below illustrates this further.

This is a known issue that we are working to resolve. All of the [Pre-defined parameters](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Creating+UDT+Definition#CreatingUDTDefinition-Pre-DefinedParameters) for UDTs are currently not functioning properly and there isn’t a work around at this time.
