Smart value in automation JQL

Javanshir Mustafayev _ HIT

Hello,

I've an automation based on the following JQL:

project=HR and issuetype='employee' and {{issue.customfield_10205}}='Yes'

I need to filter the issues based on the {{issue.customfield_10205}} condition, it has only two values 'Yes' and 'No' I need to JQL making sure that if {{issue.customfield_10205}}='Yes' then the issues are properly filtered and other automation steps work. 

Now it doesn't work. I think there is an issue with the syntax, any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Javanshir Mustafayev _ HIT 

If you were to run that JQL stand-alone in advanced issue search, it would resolve to:

project=HR and issuetype='employee' and 'Yes'='Yes'

What you probably want in your rule is:

project=HR and issuetype='employee' and MyCustomFieldName = 'Yes'

Not the value from the field...

If I am missing what you are trying to do, please consider posting an image of your entire rule and an entry from the audit log where the rule executes.  That may provide more context.  Thanks!

Best regards,
Bill
