Hi Tristan,
Your model looks something like
Const: 100L ----> Expression: "..." + time + "..." ----> Display
Where the input port to the Expression actor is a port named "time"
The output is
...0.0...
In this case "time" is a parameter of type double, not a port.
If you change the name to something else, it should work for you.
The Expression actor documentation says:
<p> The expression language understood by this actor is the same as
<a href="../../../../expressions.htm">that used to set any
parameter value</a>, with the exception that the expressions
evaluated by this actor can refer to the values of inputs, and to
the current time by the identifier name "time", and to the current
iteration count by the identifier named "iteration."
This one had me going for a little while . . .
I checked in a change to Expression.initialize() so that we now
throw an exception if the port name is "time" or "iterations".

I've come across a problem where passing a long value into an Expression
actor and trying to concatenate it with a string, the long value is
reverted to "0.0".
I've attached an example workflow made in kepler which shows the problem.
Am I doing something wrong? or is something broken?
Thanks
