Calculation between 2 numeric fields in Jira on the same issue

[Bronwen Spykerman]

Please can you assist , I have 2 numeric custom fields on an issue and I want to multiple the values and insert the result in a "total" numeric field. 

The numeric fields are "Rate" and "Qty", the rate is set but when a user inputs the "Qty value I want the field "rate" to multiple by the "Qty" and push the value in a field called total.

Can this be done in automation?
