This is where im confused.

Here do I just select that "!=" and that's it?  
`expired` would be another custom property with an _ **expression** _ binding. This is not a script, scripting language != expression language.

```Where
secondsBetween({Root Container.openTime},now()) > 15

```

expressions use Ignition's expression language found [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/expression-functions)

Scripting uses Jython, but as a beginner, just think of it as python 2.7. There are built-in system functions that you can use in scripts but not in expressions found [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions)

This is an expression, not a script. You should visit [www.inductiveuniversity.com](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/) and do some free training to understand these basics.
