List steps for someone trying to reproduce the behavior. For example:

  4. Observe the target is not showing up in targets but when context : 'user.role === “chw” ’ is not working in targets is removed and updated that target is showing up in targets.

The definition of the user object can change across projects depending on how you define your hierarchy.

If you add a statement like console.log(user); into the top of the target.js file, you can compile and deploy that change to view the user object in chrome’s dev console. What does your user object look like? Does it have a role attribute?

You can add information to this object by altering your contact forms. Or you can use the information that is already there. Is the user’s position in the hierarchy a reliable indicator of their role? If so, consider something like isChw = () => user.parent.contact_type === 'chw_area'
