Table textpattern, custom fields and curiosity

Sorry, I’m not sure to be in the correct forum. I have a point of clarification on the behavior of fields in the tab “write”.

I use sometimes <txp:custom_field /> and <txp:if_custom_field /> combinaison with different fields of write tab.

For example <txp:article_section /> does not exist. So to display the name of the section on an article, I use

<txp:custom_field name="section" /> and works fine

In another case, I had to check if the body of the article has title:

<txp:if_custom_field name="body" value="</h3>" match="all">
   article body has title level 3
<txp:else />
   No title level 3 in the body of the article
</txp:if_custom_field>

So I wanted to try the same process with the attribute customfieldname="value" of article_custom tag. And show only article that have a except :

<txp:article_custom excerpt="_%" />
But it does not work.

Why can we use custom_field and if_custom_field with other fields of the textpattern table but not with the attribute customfieldname of article_custom tag?

Not an answer to your question, but I suppose you know about <txp:article_custom excerpted="y" />?
