Conditional formatting using JIRA data

Hi ​@AndyC at ONT 

The issue you're seeing with conditional formatting on the Status field is likely due to how Lucid reads the JIRA data—Status might be a nested object e.g., Status.name rather than plain text.

While formatting works for Summary because it's a simple string, Status often requires referencing the correct subfield or matching the value exactly (case-sensitive, no extra spaces).

Try this:

Check the actual data under the Data Panel to confirm the structure.

Update your condition to match, e.g:

• Status == "In Progress" if it's flat
• Status.name == "In Progress" if nested

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Many thanks for that reference - it does work, but LUCID is saying “See errors above”.  I have tried changing the quotes, =signs and re-typing from scratch, but it is still showing as an error, despite it happily colour coding the expression …

The more detailed error message says ‘ “Status” was not found in “lHAlAUIVnsFt” ‘
Any ideas how to fix this?

“this” should almost always be lower case. Not sure if that makes a difference.

If you’re not in a rush, i’d be happy to lend a pair of eyes to hacking at it some evening if you want. Tonight is open actually.

Hi ​@AndyC at ONT, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Thank you ​@Humas1985 for jumping in, and ​@Paul McC as well for your help and guidance here and offering to meet!

Just wanting to jump in this thread to provide additional support here. 

​@AndyC at ONT To confirm, in the conditional formatting panel I recommend setting the ‘If’ condition to ‘Formula’ and then typing in =this.$status=”To Do”. Be sure to type this in instead of pasting it in, as I found a bit of trouble when pasting this in. You can replace “To Do” with “In Progress” or whatever status you’d like.  

Does that work for you?
