AQL block in automation

Mélanie Liguet

Hi, 

I have a problem with my AQL query in my automation. I always have the message "Assets field condition failed"

 

When creating a ticket on the portal, I want to check whether the "component" field entered by the customer is gold or silver and production

 

see the AQL query below : 

objecttype = "Components" and name = ${customfield_12488.value} and "classe" in 

OR, GOLD, SILVER, ARGENT) and environment = production

If I execute this query with a hard value, it works, I have 1 result

 

 

Custom field 12488 is an asset object

 

 

 

I'm new to AQL, it may be obvious but I can't find the solution.

Thanks for your help

Hi @Mélanie Liguet ,

I see you're trying to use placeholders within the query in automation. However, within automation you might want to try using smart values.

In your example, that would mean replacing 

name = ${customfield_12488.value}

with something like

name = {{customfield_12488.name}}

Other part of the query also seems to be missing one opening parenthesis, specifically when it comes to the part after "classe" attribute.

As for testing AQL, I would suggest navigating to a particular Assets schema and then using Filter > Advanced AQL option to search of issues. Here, I usually 'hardcode' all values just to see if all operators and queries in general work as expected.
After that, I replace those hardcoded values with smart values (when it comes to automation) and test that out.

Also, when it comes to smart values, I would suggest using Log action within the rule to see what you'll get as a return from specified smart values.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Tom
