​
Example: CASE.number_of_issues
CASE.number_of_issues = 0 and CASE.number_of_tasks = 0
This rule will only be fulfilled when there are no issues or tasks within a case.
​
Example: CASE.state
CASE.state = 'draft'
This rule would only be fulfilled while the case is in the state with the key '"draft". 
Please note that if you are using this to create an issue or comment, it would be, as any other issue, comment or warning, removed when the case leaves that state (unless a user replied to it or was assigned to it).
