****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** To compare the current user role with a field of list roles in a workflow, you can use a formula in the condition builder. Here's a general approach based on the conversations: 1. In the workflow condition, select "Formula" from the dropdown. 2. In the formula field, you can use a comparison like

{userrole.id} = {customfield.id}

where

customfield.id

is the internal ID of your custom field that contains the list of roles. This will compare the current user's role ID with the ID of the role in your custom field. If your custom field is a multi-select field, you might need to use an

IN()

or

LIKE

formula to check if the role is contained in the multi-select values. For example, your formula might look something like

IN({userrole.id}, {customfield.id})

. Also, it's important to double-check role and field IDs, verify role assignments and permissions, check the workflow execution order, and test with users having the roles. Use logging/debugging if available and ensure the system is up to date. If you're still having trouble, you might find it helpful to create a saved search with the right formula. If you can get the formula working in a saved search, you can then replace it in the workflow or use the saved search as the condition.
