AltostratusAPM Expression Error on Variable Assignment
Working on an F5 running BIG-IP 11.5.4 and using a Variable Assignment that I have used on many other F5s as shown below.
session.logon.last.username = expr { [mcget {session.saml.last.nameIDVa...
Opened a support ticket and this ended up being an issue with the browser and the F5 admin page. Deleted all cookies, restarted the browser and entered the expression again and it no longer garbled the expression as it had previously. The expression is now working fine.

CirrostratusHi
I shouldn't think performing a Variable Assign to an expression would be possible. Expression is meant to produce a result, not a variable.
The correct expression for what I think you're trying to do would be something like...
session.logon.last.username = Session Variable session.saml.last.identity

AltostratusI am using expr { [mcget {session.saml.last.nameIDValue}]} to grab the nameID out of the SAML response and set the session.logon.last.username variable with that value. I have used the same expression on other F5s not sure why I am running into an error hear or why when I go back to edit it, it appears as it does in the attached picture (above)
