How to use if else using smart values

[Baba Gadji]

Hello,

I try to use the conditional

"ram_size": "{{#if(equals(\"issue.fields.vm_family\", \"linux\"))}}{{ issue.fields.vm_resource_memoire }}{{/}}{{#if(not(equals(\"issue.fields.vm_family\", \"linux\")))}}{{issue.fields.vm_resource_memoire_win}}{{/}}"

But its not working.

I want when issue.fields.vm_family is windows the value was

issue.fields.vm_resource_memoire_win but it's empty

I want when the value of the variable issue.fields.vm_family is linux that it returns me the correct value otherwise it sends me the other value

Hi @Baba Gadji -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, context is important for the community to help.  Please post the following:

• what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 
• an image of your complete automation rule,
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches,
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and
• explain what is not working as expected.

Until we see those...

The format of the conditional expression with an else clause does not use the pound # sign:

{{if(smartValue, "value if true", "value if false")}}

Also note there is no need to escape quotation marks unless they are part of the search expression. 

When you want to use a quoted expression within a JSON expression, you may use the JSON functions to help: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-json-functions/
