> ## Description
> 
> The Value Field condition compares the current value of a field against a predefined value. It can compare strings, numbers, or option IDs. For select fields, you can compare either by string or option ID. The ID may be preferable since the name, or string, of an option may change over time, the ID does not. If a field can have several values (like components), matching one value is sufficient to pass the check.
> 
> ## Configuration
> 
> You must specify the field and value that will be the prerequisite for the check.

> ## Example
> 
> A workflow is configured so that the Start Progress transition has the Value Field condition set to MultiSelect = `10021` (option ID). A user viewing an issue in that workflow will not see the Start Progress transition unless the MultiSelect includes the option with ID 10021.
