Automation | Give score to field and create a field wich is the result of all of them

[Ange Lukebadio]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to set up a Jira automation that will calcultate a score in function of what you choose.

I have five differents fields which are for example :

who provided the information? Marketing (5) , Customer (3) ...

which service is affected by the bug? Marketing (4) , Customer (2)  ...

each answer has its score, if for example I choose marketing for the first question and customer for the second, then I would have a score of 10. Because 5 x 2 = 10.

I managed to find an automation to display a score for a field but not to multiply them between them.

For information I have 5 fields with several possible choices so if I have to write each case it will take me forever.

Thanks for your feedback :)

In automation for Jira you can calculate field data together and have it output to a Text field.
You would need to have this Text custom field available on the issue so when the automation runs it has a place to display the data calculated.

In your automation you will need to use smart values to calculate your data.

Here are a few documents to help you understand the smart values and calculations:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/examples-of-using-math-expression-smart-values/
https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-smart-values-math-expressions-993924866.html

I would use a If statement but be aware that there is a limit to how many if statements you can have in one automation.

If I were you I would try to simplify the calculation as much as possible to have a specific amount of needed calculations.

As you stated it could get to be very long.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your quick answer !

I'll check the link you sent me :) and I'll tell you if it works, i've read some documents about smart values before but maybe those one are more explicit. 

Have a good one,

Ange

Hi Aaron,

So finaly i took the solution to write them down one by one and I asked to chatGPT to do all the possible mixes between all my choices, that was pretty good.

Thanks anyway :)

If this answered your question please mark it as answered. 

I am sure Chatgpt can configure the automation variables. It's a great tool to help out.
