I've managed to find the solution to accessing dynamic property value issue
1. Immediate action which reads properties to be moved from execution
sequence to UI sequence
2. Actions in execution phase can access data from secure properties as
stated in the question. If the properties are dynamically created in CA,
they must be added to SecureCustomProperties system property. Separator
char is ';'."
