Looking for proper condition to return string when a filtered list smart variable returns no results

[Keith Vedol]

Hi,

I am currently using smart values to fetch a list of issues that meet the category criteria.  There are currently three categories, and I would like a message to be returned if no issues are found for a specified criteria.  So if the three categories are:

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

If the filter is for example: (fixVersion = '{{version.name}}' AND "Category[Dropdown]" = "Category 1" ORDER BY cf[10530] ASC, key ASC

and it has been added to a variable ( {{varCategory1}} )

and if there are no results returned, I would like to return a message saying no results were found under that category.  Which conditional logic string would be best to achieve this? 

I have tried many ways according to the documentation and haven't gotten it right as of yet, with the latest being:

{{#if(lookupIssues.size.gt(0))}} <b>No issues under this category were found</b>.{{/}}
{{#if(exists(varCategory1))}}
{{varCategory1}}{{/}}

Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello @Keith Vedol 

Can you show us the entire rule?

Generally, after executing a Lookup Issues action you could add an Advanced Compare condition to check if the value of {{lookupIssues.size}} equals 0. 

How do you expect the message to be surfaced? Are you adding it to an email?

Got it figured.
