Azure APIM policy-conditional operator not working in liquid template

Question

How can I resolve the issue where the conditional operators, such as '< or >', are not working in Azure APIM liquid templates? The '>' sign is being converted to '&gt'. In the following example, it is returning 'true' when it should be returning 'false'.

<set-body template="liquid">
    {% assign a = 5 %}
    {% assign b = 15 %}
    {% if a &gt; b %}
        true
    {% else %}
        false
    {% endif %}
</set-body>

Answer 1

@prajakta nawale Thanks for reaching out. It should work even if gets encoded with &gtI but it was returning true instead of false. Had a discussion internally and confirmed that it is bug and Product Team is currently investigating it. I would revert to you with another update as soon as I hear back from them.

Let me know if you have any queries or concerns.
