    Hi LeonardBertone,

    Could you try something like below code.

    if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                // Obtain the target entity from the input parmameters.
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

                if (entity.Contains("lastname"))
                {
                    string lastName = entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("lastname");
                }
            }


    Thanks

    Justin Jose

    The field name is 'lastname' (all lower-case)
