Hello @Project Manager ,

Custom fields that count other elements are not a native function in Jira, so you would need to look to add-ons to accomplish this.  Noting that even when using add-on apps the option to count in a fields is going to be a data point that is issue speciffic meaning the data point should live at the issue level (exist in a field on the issue already), but it sounds like you are looking for an option to count all issues in a project relating to JQL search criteria to populate a dynamic count representation intop a field which is something I am not sure would be possible.

I did a bit of looking and I think that ScriptRunner may be able to do a portion of what you are looking for where a relationship exists between two issues (Issue > Sub-task) with something similar to the following scripted listener in the tools documentation:

 

Alternatively getting counts of items seems like something that might be better suited for a report or a dashboard gadget as there are multiple options taking this route.

You could create a custom report using a free add-on for Google sheets "Jira Cloud for Google Sheets" , and do the summations of the data in a standalone report, giving you a lot of options reporting wise.

Using a dashboard with something like the "Issue Statistics" gadget and Status set for the Statistic Type sort by total and this will give you a break down of the count on each status in the project as well as the percentage of issues in that status.

Earl
