That doesn't look like a valid propertyChange event script for Vision. You aren't checking the event's propertyName--that is mandatory. Also, please format posted code **as code** , so indentation is preserved: [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).

You don't have enough `.parent` references to get to an outer object. Also note that there is a quirk of Vision that prevents the proper jython wrapper being applied in this case--the simplest fix for that is to install my Integration Toolkit. Without the fix, a custom property like `.ActiveStepDate` won't work.
