Script token inserts code with change data value flow step in stead of the resultant

Question

Hi all,
I have a script token {{my.getdomain}} that splits an email address and retrieves the domain name in a variable:
#set( $em = ${lead.Email} )
#set( $dom = $em.split("@") )
$!{dom[1]}
 
However, with the 'add data value' flow step it adds into the field (string) webdomain:
{"codeBlock":"#set( $em = ${lead.Email} )
#set( $dom = $em.split("@") )
$!{dom[1]}","scriptingObjects":{"standard":{"2":{"label":"Person","fields":{"31":{"label":"Email Address"}}}}}}
 
in stead of the domain name from the email address (I did check the field 'email address' on the right hand pane).
If I add the same token in an email, it renders correctly.
Any ideas why the domain name is not entered into the field?

Email Script Tokens (a.k.a. Velocity tokens) only execute when embedded in emails. In all other contexts they are simply treated as text.

I should also note your code is not correct for finding the domain part of a syntactically valid email. The domain part is the last item after splitting on "@", not the second item. Emails can have more than one "@".
