You need to change that in the selector @ColinCrabtree,

Assign the selector to a new variable using assign activity and then pass that to the selector property @ColinCrabtree

@HareeshMR how to you pass it once its in a variable ?

Cool - that worked. I also found that if I deleted all the existing selector text in the expression editor, closed it and reopened it as a blank expression editor, it then allowed me to type in the string with no error. Strange but true and a trick to remember.
