    Seems like you have assigned an id to get a controlled item. This is my variant based on an original Aras sample:

    // Get the controlled item.
    Item controlledItem = this.newItem(this.getAttribute("type"), "labs_GetControlledItemCSharp");
    controlledItem.setID(this.getID());
    controlledItem = controlledItem.apply();
    if (controlledItem.getItemCount() != 1)
    {
    return inn.newError("Error retrieving the controlled item: " + controlledItem.getErrorDetail());
    }
    string teamId = controlledItem.getProperty("team_id","");

Angelalp,

Thank you for this.  I got it working.  I added the method to the Activity as a Server Event that activates On Vote.

// Get the controlled item.
Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();
Item controlledItem = this.newItem(this.getAttribute("type"), "labs_GetControlledItemCSharp");
controlledItem.setID(this.getID());
controlledItem = controlledItem.apply();
if (controlledItem.getItemCount() != 1)
{
 return inn.newError("Error retrieving the controlled item: " + controlledItem.getErrorDetail());
}

//Get what is selected for sm_change_end_state
string endState = controlledItem.getProperty("sm_change_end_state","");

//If sm_change_end_state is empty, return the message.
if (endState == "") return inn.newError("Please select appropriate End State.");

return this;
