Description

The _eventdatamap is implemented as a Java HashMap - and the Javascript engines (both JDK and JSR223) don't seem to be able to apply the [] operator to a Java Map object.

An interim workaround when using the Javascript evaluator is to use _eventdatamap.get('event.name').

For the longer term this anomalous behaviour can either just be documented or a patch that specifically handles _eventdatamap[] can be included in the eval functions
