Hi, good morning.

These days, I have an issue using these options with custom filed. Do you know if there is any problem today on Jira cloud?

I tried with a simple name and after with ID name. Taken from xml export.

The standards field are working well. !

Hello @Abhishree Nagesh Thank you for reaching out. Per your description, it seems you have configured an automation rule to send an e-mail containing a custom field value when your issues reach a specific status, however, you are not being able to properly add the smart value syntax to add the custom field value in the e-mail message. Is that correct? As you can see in the documentation below, the syntax to add a custom field smart value would be {{issue.My custom field name}}. Accessing issue fields If there are multiple custom fields with the same name or have the same name as a system field, you can also use the custom field id. {{issue.customfield_10001}}. To find the custom field id, you can navigate to Jira Settings > Issues > Custom fields > find the custom field and click to Configure. The Custom Field ID should appear at the URL of the page. Here's a practical Example: 1 - I created the following rule: 2 - Then, changed my issue status: 3 - Received the following e-mail: Let us know if this information helps.
