I read this [post](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=12003&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=internal+property) to help me understand how I can access internal property of a template in one of my GUI components’ script.

I have two properties in a Template, one is Template property called MyIsInactive and the other is Internal property called MyInternalIsInactive.

Let’s give the Template name Templ

Now, in one of my windows I have some Templs and I try to grab the Templs but populating it through its parent component. I make sure that when I populate, I only grab the Templs:

`for comp in parent.components:
    if not comp.name.startswith('Templ'):
        continue
`

Now, after I grab the Templs, I try to get its properties like this:

```auto
	val = comp.getPropertyValue('MyInternalIsInactive') #should be False
	val2 = comp.getPropertyValue('MyIsInactive') #should be False
        print val, val2
```

But when I print them out, I got

```auto
None False
```

Instead of

```auto
False False
```

Is Internal Property no longer accessible from script module?

I identified where I got it wrong:

`val = comp.getPropertyValue('MyInternalIsInactive') #should be False
val2 = comp.getPropertyValue('MyIsInactive') #should be False
print val, val2`

should be

`val = comp.getComponent(0).getPropertyValue('MyInternalIsInactive') #should be False
val2 = comp.getPropertyValue('MyIsInactive') #should be False
print val, val2`

I miss the getComponent(0)
