Looks like its a json string, have you tried using [`jsonGet`](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/expression-functions/JSON/jsonGet)?

eg:

```python
jsonGet(
    {Root Container.Path.to.Template.Canvas.templates}[0,”parameters”],
    "property1"
)

```

It looks like you posted your code as quote blocks, use preformatted text instead, see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).
