If condtion not working in ingest pipeline

[venkat_swaminathan]

I am trying to set up a ingest pipelines for my Kubernetes cluster logs, but when I try to evaluate a field in the pipeline processor, fields with no dot works ( "if": "ctx.tags == 'audit'") & field with dot characters is not working "if": "ctx?.kubernetes?.container?.name == 'istio-proxy'",. it's strange & would need community advice on the same.

Base pipeline:

PUT _ingest/pipeline/apps-prod-logs-v1
 {
  "processors": [
    {
      "pipeline": {
        "description": "If 'tags' is 'audit', use 'audit pipeline'",
        "if": "ctx.tags == 'audit'",
        "name": "apps-audit-v1"
      }
    },
    {
      "pipeline": {
        "description": "If 'kubernetes.container.name' is 'istio-proxy', use 'istio pipeline'",
        "if": "ctx?.kubernetes?.container?.name == 'istio-proxy'",
        "name": "apps-istio-v1"
      }
    }
  ]
}
