Ensure these properties are also present in the UI since this is a client-side AP(getProperty)I. If you need something from the server side (only on the clipboard page), you can use safeURL to invoke activity in async mode and get the value.
pega.u.d.getProperty("pyWorkPage.PageName.PropertyName")—This will work only if your section rule displays this property in the UI while accessing it in the Javascript.

@Anoop Krishna, this Syntax work only in the Section, Controls but not in the text file with js extension.

You can use the below pega api to retrieve the clipboard property written in an JS file. We are using the below API long term and we aren't seeing any issues with it.
var propertyvalue = pega.u.d.getProperty("pyWorkPage.YourProperty");
console.log(propertyvalue);
Try the above code and check your console to verify if you are able to get the property value.
Note: If you are performing using a scripts in UI on a WorkObject from desktop, make sure you add your custom JS file on the Scripts Tab on the Perform Harness rule.
Let me know if this fixes your issue.

@RashmithaMif the properties are not present on the UI, add them as Hidden Content and on the action set, add the action event, On Change- Post Value.
this should work if your propery is not available on the UI but present on the clipboard. Let me know if this approach is working or not.
