(You mean priority_level is a ForeignKey, right, not priority_value?) The
variable resolution done by ifequal isn't automatically going to call str()
on the variable, so if you want to compare what the __str__ method returns
against a string, then you need to include that in the comparison:
{% ifequal log_item.priority_level.__str__ 'High' %}
