Remarks

This function only retrieves actual values when executed in a real deployment. In the test environment, it always returns 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM +00:00.
This function is intended for properties outside of this current model. When specifying the name of the property to retrieve, you will need the fully qualified name, using the component name. For instance, if the property you need to act on is in an Azure DT model whose component is named ‘myComponent’, then the property name will be ‘/myComponent/propertyName’
