Hi @gabern,

To accomplish this, you have to set up a custom field of type “Insight Object/s” and add it to your issue view as seen below:

 ![Javier Pozuelo JPJS-5](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex018/uploads/exalate1/original/1X/fe6263d8b4d7e9bd6ec91a3d0eed1d5c7a873b4d.jpeg)

The attributes you read in your script will be based on the Insight object you have selected in your issue’s custom field.

This script below retrieves the value of a custom field called `InsightField` from an Insight object. It then extracts the `Name` attribute from this field, removes any square brackets (`[]`), and compares the resulting string with `"JPTest"`. If the value doesn’t match `"JPTest"`, the script stops further execution (via `return`).

```auto
def insightObject = issue.customFields."InsightField"?.value

// Check and read the specific attribute value
def attributeValue = insightObject.Name.toString().replaceAll('[\\[\\]]', '') // Replace 'Name' with your attribute

// Continue with sync if the attribute value matches a certain condition 
if (attributeValue.toString() != "JPTest") {
    return
}

```

You can use debug.error(attributeValue) to check the attribute’s value, for example:

insightObject.Created:

insightObject.Name:
