Hi,

You can get the property of the node in HTL using their path as shown below:

<sly data-sly-use.page="/content/dev-aem/en/jcr:content">${page.jcr:title}</sly>

Also, I would recommend writing these logics in JS use API or Java classes.

try ${item.propertyName}

If you want to get child node from the item node based on the name of the node, then you need to write JS use API or Java Model.
