This function was officially deprecated in the Custom Content Functions plugin, however it should still be available even though it's hidden.

I am using this expression in a script task, so it is giving me the same error.

Have you tried something like the following expression?

a!forEach(
items: folder(pv!folder, "folderChildren"),
expression: folder(fv!item, "name")
)

Or, if you do not have access to forEach:
a!apply(
folder(
_,
"name"
),
folder(pv!folder, "folderChildren")
)

That should give you a list of names of each of the folder's sub-folders.

Now i am trying to use this expression: =folder(tointeger(getsubfoldersfromfolder(ri!folderName,false)),"name") or
=folder(getsubfoldersfromfolder(ri!folderName,false),"name")

But i am not being able to retrieve the name is giving me this error: Error evaluating function 'folder' : Expression evaluation error : Invalid function folder

Why can't i retreive the name of the specified folder?

Take a look at the functions available in the Custom Content Functions plugin here.

I think this has what you're looking for.
