JMWE: Conflicting results when using same code in workflow validator & copy issue field postfunction

[Steven Rhodes]

I have a JMWE Field Required Validator in a workflow that successfully requires a user to provide a field if the value of another field is true. This field is a simple select dropdown with Yes and No. 

In the same workflow I have two post functions that uses the same code to determine whether to Copy Issue Fields from another issue, and a Create Issue post function. This returns false. This Nunjucks code is identical except for the necessity of providing {{. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Steven Rhodes 

The syntax is different between post functions and conditions/Validators, because the latter are limited to Atlassian's Jira expressions. 

You can use the Issue Fields help tab of the editor to find out how to access your field from Nunjucks.

I followed your advice, and yes it led me to the fact that I needed the fields part

{{ issue.fields.customfield_20423.value == "Yes" }}

So I'm accepting this answer.

Try 

{{ issue.fields.customfield_20423 == "Yes" }} 

in the nunchuck condition

I saw @David Fischer 's answer first, but this was definitely the right direction. However, it didnt work because I would still need the .value on the end. I probably would have worked it out from your answer tho as I'd already stated the suffix in my attempt. Thanks!
