Smart variables rendering #if

[Fede B.]

Hi,

I wrote this smart variable in an automation rule:

myVar = 

{{#issue}}{{#if(equals(status.statuscategory.name,"Done"))}}found value{{/}}{{status.statuscategory.name}}{{/}}

When I print it into a log (or use it), on an issue with status category Done, the returned value is always (just) "Done". "found value" is never printed.

The above example is just a simplified version of what I'm doing (though I tested exactly the above example before writing this question, just in case); still, I've tested that this simple usage of if-equals is never working as I'd expect, and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

My goal in the end is to write a variable in the form of an if-then-else structure:

myVar = {{#if(equals(somefield,"yes"))}}0{{/}}{{#if(not(equals(somefield,"yes")))}}1{{/}}

, for instance.

In this way, I may avoid using a lot of if-else branches, that consume my rule 'space' very quickly.

Best regards

Hi @Fede B. 

This smart value:

{{#if(equals(status.statuscategory.name,"Done"))}}found value{{/}}

works as expected. If any issue is on Done status it will yield "found value".

What is it that you want to achieve by adding {{#issue}}. Which list do you want to iterate with?
