Automation Smart Value Help - 1 in 10 chance to trigger event

Question

Hello Jira wizards, gurus, and everything in between!

I'm trying to set up an automation rule on a random chance (1:10) event that looks something like this:

When Issue transitions in workflow > Create Smart Value 1-10 > If Value = 1 then follow through else disregard.

Using the AI automation creator, it suggested the following formula:

Then: Create variable
Variable name: randomNumber
Smart value: {{math.randomInt(1,10)}}

If: Compare two values
First value: randomNumber (I have also tried {{randomNumber}} - Same results)
Condition: equals
Second value: 1

Then...

However, the rule is not triggering as intended (pronounced not triggering at all). For the purposes of testing, I've set the values in math.randomInt to (1,2) for a 50% chance but have failed consistently.

When checking the audit log, it shows every entry as No actions performed / condition not met.

Any help / suggestions on how to make this or any other effective RNG rulesets work would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I recommend that you always verify information generated by AI by referencing the documentation.

The documentation reference I provided references only the following with regard to the use of a RANDOM function.

I don't appear to have access to the "Create with AI" feature in the instances to which I have access, so I can't comment specifically on that.

@Daniel Shepperdson -

What is the {{randomNumber}} value have since you use "Create with AI" smart value syntax?

Best, Joseph

Hi Joseph, I've added screenshots of where the rule breaks & the following action. The only prior step is "When issue is transitioned from to ". I've tried using {{randomNumber}} & randomNumber as the variable name for both Then: Create variable and If: Compare two values with the same results.
