Check the source code in the editor, that there's not any HTML character breaking your syntax.
For example stuff like:
Make sure the syntax is clean in the HTML mode of the editor as well.

Thank you for the quick answere!

Andrea was correct, there was a &npsp; int the if statement, but while the code now executes, it does not display the proper output.
This is a very simplified version of what I need to do. There are 6 people that it can be, so I will need {if}{elseif}{/if} construct in the final version.

What output are you expecting? The article you are testing with has no custom field with name 'application-specialist'.

Articles Anywhere is about articles (as the name suggests).
The custom fields you can read out, concern custom fields attached to the article. It does not support checking custom fields of users.

Thank you Peter.....I know that the extension was about articles, I just jumped to an invalid conclusion since I only use user custom fields and forgot about article custom fields....sorry.
Which of your extensions would be best for me to test user fields and display information depending on the value of a user custom field? I looked a Conditional Content, but could not find it there either.

It can maybe be done with Conditional Content.
There is no ready-to-use assignment for this. So you would need to use the PHP assignment, and of course, figure out the necessary PHP code to collect the use custom fields.
Something like:Which is a LOT of code for something relatively small 🤷🏻♂️

Something like:
JLoader::register('FieldsHelper', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_fields/helpers/fields.php');
$user_fields = FieldsHelper::getFields('com_users.user', JFactory::getUser(), true);
foreach($user_fields as $user_field) {
if($user_field->name !== 'application-specialist') {
continue;
}
return $user_field->value === 'Sara Taylor';
}
return false;
