How can I add a new work week field

[Armand_Zhao]

Now, we have a request, to set up a dashboard, in order to trace the Jira weekly usage. So I wanna to create a new field to record the created work week number. Such as 'WW01‘ to 'WW52'

Hi @Armand_Zhao 

Do you have Automation on your instance?

If yes, you could...

• Create a Number field - eg. Week of Year
• Populate it using Automation

---

The rule might look like this...

• Trigger: Issue Created
• Action: Edit Issue
  • Field = Week of Year
    • Value = {{now.format("w")}}

---

You could also move the value of Week of Year into a Select List if preferred (easier to use in a dashboard) - but given you're on Server, you'd need to...

• Create a Select List field - eg. Week (Number)
• Populate it using 52 IF/ELSE statements
  
  • Use the field above (also set through automation) as the comparison point or...
  • Use the smart value above, and advanced compare conditions

Let us know what you think!
