We are relying heavily on the use of listeners for triggering behaviour like adding data to our database etc.I have provided a cut down version of the listener below to show roughly what I'm doin

Hi,

It seems that a little more digging and I have found the answer, so thought I'd share with anyone else.

The method I was using to get the values from the expressions was manualCommentExpression.getValue(execution)However, what I should have called was manualCommentExpression.getExpressionText() to get the text that has been configured.

That left needing to set the Expression objects in the listener, in my unit test which I did by changing the access modifiers to protected so that they can be accessed via the unit test. The in the unit test I did the following:

listener.manualCommentExpression = new FixedValue("This is my comment");
