Version  
8.1.36  
Unless I'm missing something, these two bindings should be virtually identical, and yet they are returning different results--is there some reason session properties can't be passed as parameters?

Yup. Those should be identical. Looks like a bug to report.

~~Unless you are somehow inverting the logic in your script~~

I'm apparently caffeine depleted. You're obviously calling the same function.

Can you show your script, there may perhaps be a way to handle either case.

Log the `type()` you're getting inside your script. I bet the transform is doing something to the internal map.

Yep, the script transform version shows it as

```python
<type 'com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script.DotReferenceJythonMap'>

```

...while the expression version shows:

```python
<type 'java.util.HashMap'>

```
