Can i run script on a particular field on cloud?

[Ashokkumar Santhanam]

Hello Experts,

Is it possible to run script on a existing field or can we create a scripted custom field to do specific calculations?

Thank you

Hey @Ashokkumar Santhanam 

Well that depends on the type of calculation you have to do. And what exactly are you trying to get from the script.

For the simple calculations one can use automation for Jira to create rules ( Ex: Sum or Difference up custom field, sum of work logged, sum up of story points, days calculation, etc)

We can create a scripted custom field if we have plugins like JMCF, Scriptrunner in Server/DC version. But in jira cloud with script runner listeners one can achieve scripted fields I guess.

Hope this helps !! In case if you have questions let me know

Regards,

Hello @Vishwas 

My question is specific to cloud only and we need to do simple calculations like sum of

values inside a field.

Example : Custom field name - Cost savings and inside this cost savings field we will have

               inputs from multiple projects : project A - 100

                                                                 project B - 100

                                                                 project  C - 100

                                                             Total savings - 300

we need to do this inside a custom field. Any suggestions or ideas of how can we do this?

Thank you

Hey @Ashokkumar Santhanam 

Sum must be done at issue level.

We can sum custom field for issues in automation for Jira. Using Smart values we can achieve, please have a look at this thread here https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Using-Smart-values-to-sum-two-Number-fields/qaq-p/1687799
