How do I reset Particle Age?
I tried with the Custom Properties operator, but I can't find a way to apply a value to the age channel.

You can't modify a particle's age, no. Closest thing is resetting a particle's event age by having it re-enter an event.
What's the use-case here?
I wanted to put the particles into a two event loop, but reset the particle age as they enter the loop so I could use that to control when they exit the loop.
If it was PFlow I'd just reset the age. What's the best way to to it in tyFlow?

Event age automatically resets when a particle enters...that's probably what you're looking for/expecting. You can test that with an Age Test.
Unfortunately the particles pass from one event to another in a loop, so the event age is reset every time the particle changes events. I'm looking to test the total time a particle has been in a loop of two events, not a single event.

No default way to do that, no. Would be pretty easy with the Script operator. Probably something I could add as a default feature in a future build.
Ok. Got it.
Thanks for the help.
