How do I access the OOTB Points property in a Points Automation configuration?

I would suggest checking What are Points and how do I change or manage points? 

Actually, I think you might want Points Automations ...

Sorry, I might have posted this in the wrong forum, I wanted to get access to the Points value configuration property programmitcally in the Content file of an Automation I was working on.

Its the same as in widgets

You don't access it, you utilize  context_v1_pointsAutomation.AwardPoints(...) to handle the actual points.  I would suggest reviewing any OOTB points automation.

I had a special case where I needed to access it, there seems to be a bug in part of the context_v1_pointsAutomation design, you can reference this issue here if you were interested, in.telligent.com/.../1611722,  at any rate I'm all set.

You can access this value through the contextual API provided to points automations: $context_v1_pointsAutomation.Points 

Yes I'm aware of that now, Patrick hinted at the solution earlier in the post and I've mentioned that I was all set, thank you for eveyone's help.
