Try it this way:

value + [(parseInt(thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).name.split(" ")[1],10)-1)*75,0]

That did not seem to work. Nor did "value.transform.position", or "value.position".

Ah, thanks. I'll give that a whirl!

yes, since the property you apply it to is actually

effect("Paint").stroke("Clone 1").transform.position
you can simply write

value + 75

Is there a way to tell an expression to look at its own layer name, property, etc? For instance, I'm using some expressions on Clone Paint strokes and would like to have the Clone Stroke name be generated dynamically instead of me changing it to "Clone 1", "Clone 2" etc...

I have this line on my clone position and keep duplicating the stroke. It would be nice to have the name of the stroke change for me each time. Something like "this" in certain contexts in scripting.

effect("Paint").stroke("Clone 1").transform.position+75
