Is it possible to access description field in release using JIRA automation?

What I am trying to do is if "description" field within a release contains certain word, then do certian things. However, I am getting an error message.

 

Trigger: When a fix version is released.

Then: If "Description" contains "blah blah blah"

Then: Create issues.

 

I had a similar questions in another post, I was told that the if statement is looking for the description of an issue. So if this is the case, is there a way to look for the "description" field of a release? maybe using JQL?

Hello @Garret Zhang 

I'm guessing that you want to look at the description of the fix version (release), not an issue description.

For this, you'll probably have to use smart values, more specifically,

{{version.description}}

Documentation for smart values follows https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-development/

Sorry, had a typo in my smart value when I was checking. Please See @Robert Wen_Cprime_  answer which is correct.
