I am trying to setup an automation rule based on the Issue Category field.
When I used the "Issue fields condition", the Category field is not selectable as it says Field no found.
Can I use the Advanced compare condition? E.g. I want to check if Category field is equal to value "ABC". How should I do it?
Thanks for your update. As you already know that "Category" field you are referring is associated with Jira Work Management projects -
For this special field (in automation) usage, you cannot use it in "Issue fields condition" for condition testing. However here is how you can used in the "Compare two value" condition -
I utilize the log action to test out my rule on the smartvalue usage always, it will ensure that I am getting the right field values from the smartvalue references.
Here are a few links on how to debug your rules that I use all the time -
Hope this helps

I was trying to create a similar automation as Kelvin Tan for a change of category. Using {{issue.Category.value}} did not work for me. I found a workaround using {{fieldChange.toString}}. Worked exactly as needed.

Welcome to the community. The out of the box "Category" field is related to project category and not for issues. Are you referring to "Work Category" for Request Types?
Can you clarify your ask with more information?, so we can assist further.

I am referring to the Category field at the right hand side. This is not the Project Category field.
This Category field is used by the List.
