Cypher query to dynamically match a parameter in apoc call

I am using the query of the following structure

MATCH path=((:Start)-[:NEXT*..100]->(n))
WHERE ALL(mnode IN nodes(path)
    WHERE mnode.minimum <= $data[mnode.checkagainst])

      

        
        
        
      

    

where data

is something like {checkparam1: 24}

. For me it is: the name of the parameter with which I want to check the minimum number of residents in node.

Everything works fine, however when I create apoc

stuff like

MATCH path=((:Start)-[:NEXT*..100]->(n))
WHERE ALL(mnode IN nodes(path)
    WHERE mnode.minimum <= apoc.date.toYear($data[mnode.checkagainst]))

      

        
        
        
      

    

he tells me

Failed to invoke function `apoc.date.toYears`: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

      

        
        
        
      

    

I suspect I cannot rely on the "request memory information" inside the apoc call, because when I manually fill in the value mnode.checkagainst

like

MATCH path=((:Start)-[:NEXT*..100]->(n))
WHERE ALL(mnode IN nodes(path)
    WHERE mnode.minimum <= apoc.date.toYear($data['checkparam1']))

      

        
        
        
      

    

the apoc call works. Not sure if this is the intended behavior?

Any suggestions for a workaround?
