Hi, I am currently developing a kibana watcher alert and I am comparing two values to generate an email if the condition comes true. For that I calculated an average value and it comes with many decimal places (nearly 20). I found that it can be rounded into several decimal places from transform section. I have tried it and I got the results as well. Now I need to add those transformed results to the condition section. I have tried ctx.transform.payload to access the transformed payload but it results a null. So is there anything I am missing when accessing the transformed payload? Regards. ---

a transform is always executed **after** the condition. ---

Hi @spinscale, Thanks for the quick reply. Is there any way to round the aggregation payload before the condition and compare those rounded data inside the condition? Regards. ---

Can you maybe explain, why you want to compare a rounded result vs a non rounded one? Interested behind the use-case here and why that is necessary. That said, you can execute any logic in the script condition and of course round to anything you want before that as well. ---

This is the use case. The average value from the aggregation contains many decimal places (nearly 20) but I need that average value in three decimal places and compare it with another value. This is the reason that I want to round the average value. Please feel free to ask for any clarifications. ---
