For the basic page content type I added a custom boolean field called field_login_required.

In my node template node--page.html.twig I have

 <h2>{{ title }}</h2> {% if content.field_login_required %} {% if user == 0 %} <p class="must-login">You must be logged in to view this page <a href="/user">Please click here to login</a></p> {% else %} <p>{{ content.body }}</p> {% endif %} {% else %} <p>{{ content.body }}</p> {% endif %}

However content.field_login_required is null no matter whether the checkbox is checked or not. To test what was available I used

{{ dump(content|keys) }}

However the result of this is 

array (size=1) 0 => string 'body' (length=4)

field_login_required is omitted. Is there anyway to refer to a custom field in a node template?

The issue occurred because 

{{ content.field_login_required }}

was used. Node should be used in place of content. The proper code is

{{ node.field_login_required.value }}

    that's not correct because the field object will always exist. if you want to check if the checkbox is checked or not, use node.custom_field.value Commented Sep 14, 2016 at 19:18
