Use tokens for Data comparison

For data comparisons using the "Data comparison" condition, the "Data to compare" is chosen using the Data selector, which is the default and only way to choose the data item you want to compare to. Clicking inside the input box will give you the top-level list of available objects in context, then you can drill down into specific parts of those objects.

If your event provides a "user" context variable, then you would enter something like user.uid or account.uid. If there is no user object in context, you can use the global user object provided by the core user module like @user.current_user_context:current_user.uid.

You enter "tokens" in the "Data value" textfield using "Direct input" mode, which is the default for that textfield. Rules does not use core Token module tokens in D8 and higher. Instead, it uses Twig-like tokens. So something like {{ user.uid }} or {{ account.uid }} or {{ @user.current_user_context:current_user.uid }} should work. The available tokens for use here are all the same as you will find in the data selector described above, but surrounded by {{ and }} so you may embed them in text strings. Rules also has the concept of data filters (again, like Twig), which act on these "tokens" to manipulate the data. For example, {{ user.name | lower }} will apply the "lower" data filter to the user name in order to convert it to all lowercase.

There is documentation for this at https://www.drupal.org/docs/contributed-modules/rules-essentials/token-r... → and in the other pages of that guide. If you find something wrong or missing in that documentation please either correct the documentation (you can do this yourself) or add a comment or add a new documentation page.
