Hello, when I‘m trying to use this

I get nothing. Is this supposed to be that way, am I missing something or am I doing it wrong?

I don't get it, sorry.

I have a first article with a custom field (let's say c-hl). In this field is a value of a second article id (let's say 1012).

I want to pull the text of the second article into the first article by using the value of the custom field "headline" of the first article.

So in the first article in a static way I would write:

{article id="1012"}[text]{/article}

But I don't want to enter the article id manually. Instead I want to pull that id from the current articles custom field calles "c-hl".

When I try different variations the page just breaks or doesn't load at all. This {articles c-hl="this:id"}[text]{/articles} doesn't do anything. Could clarify how to get the value of the custom field of the current article into the filter as described above?

What does that sentence mean?

No output with this:

{article id="this: c-hl"}{/article}

or this

{articles id="this: c-hl"}{/articles}

Great, Works, Thanks.

Question: Why does it only work with the articles tag but not with article tag? Are there performance differences between these two tags?

And I noticed another thing.

{articles id="this:c-ba"}{if badge}[badge]{else}<img src="/default-badge.png" class="uk-width-small"/>{/if}{/articles}

When the custom field badge is empty I don't get the fallback image, it just shows nothing.

Do you really think that I come up with this without reading the docs? 😁 I read it for hours exploring a new syntax you created and changed for Joomla 4 again. And after reading, you have to do it and understand it. That's a lot of time. As a customer you have to learn a whole new syntax to use your product, that's the reason why we bought a full bundle license to get support if we have questions.

I really only ask a question when I don't understand something or couldn't find an article where I could imagine that it fits my needs. I really appreciate your answers, and often the link to the right doc helps. Additionally, sometimes we encounter bugs and until we get an answer it's not clear if we should invest time in something if it's not clear if it's a bug and or a mistake on our side. That's the reason why I ask in this case.

In this case, I tried everything you provided, but it does not work for me. For example, it's not clear why the tag does work with the multiple article field but not with the single article field, as mentioned above. And the question regarding performance is unanswered, too.

Anyway, I tried this:

{articles id="this:c-ba"}{if badge:value}[badge]{else}<img src="/badge.png" />{/if}{/articles}

But it returns no fallback, when the custom field c-ba is empty. When a valid value is available, it works. So basically only the fallback doesn't work.
