Hi @chandra_mmbo 

I have read your code. And can't find '{% if product.tags contains prod.title %}'.

Most close one is '{% if prod.tags contains product.id %} ', and the problem is 'product.id', you have not define 'product', so it should be 'prod.id'

Hi @Kani 

I have created a liquid file where I want to show related products by tags of current product. So I fetch all products  by  {% for prod in collections.all.products %}.

Now here, I am finding which products have current product id in tags(all products) {% if prod.tags contains product.id %}, but result not found. 

{%- comment -%}{% if prod.tags contains product.id %} current product id = 8201838624999 {%- endif -%} {%- endcomment -%}

{% if prod.tags contains '8201838624999' %}  - when replace the product.id with static value of current product, its working.

Then I think you need try to print {{ product.id }}

[chandra_mmbo]

{{ product.id }}  

I print the product.id, it is displaying but in condition, not working. 

While I am using {% if prod.type contains product.id %}. It is working.  I am confuse 

 {{ prod.tags | json }} - ["8201838624999","Prints"]

I found the solution for this. Actually you are comparing a string with an integer. Both type should be the same when we use contains. Try the below code it will work

Here converted integer to string so contain work 

{% assign product_id = product.id | append: "" %}

You can use like this

{% for prod in collections.all.products %}

{% assign product_id = product.id | append: "" %}
{% if prod.tags contains product_id %}
<h1>Contain</h1>
{% else %}
<h1>Not Contain</h1>
{% endif %}

{% endfor %}
