    I created a new text field named "Orig_File". and then added a Custom activity with the following script:

    Context.Transaction.Documents[0].GetField("Orig_File").Value = Context.Transaction.Documents[0].SourceFiles[0].FileName;

    Running a "Test Skill" in Advanced Designer shows this error:
     JavaScript runtime error: Cannot read property '0' of undefined.

    Hi Randy, it seems that you are using the Script activity in the Advanced Designer. The Custom activity that is mentioned in the article relates to the Process Skill: https://vantage-us.abbyy.com/help/English/SkillDesigner/?topic=procskill_activity_custom

    Hope that helps.
