How to calculated weighted defect backlog for dashboard

[Ray Centa]

I am trying to calculated weighted defect backlog to include in a dashboard based on the value in the Workaround Impact field. For example, if Workaround Impact = 1, that should have a weight of 0.2, and if Workaround Impact = 2 that should have a weight of 0.1. I am using the Two Dimensional Filter widget to group by Workaround Impact and would like to use the calculated weight for those grouped values.

@Ray Centa, 

Are there any other factors that go into calculating the weight field?

Thanks,

Kian

No, the weight is a factor based on the workaround impact. For example, if Workaround Impact = 1, that would have a weight of 0.2, and if Workaround Impact = 2 that would have a weight of 0.1.

Basically, what I am trying to do is calculate a weight of all open defects. I am using the Two Dimensional Filter widget to group by Workaround Impact. I'd like to multiply each grouped total by the appropriate related weight. 

I'm open to suggestions if there is a better way to get that information.

Thanks,

Ray

Hi Ray,

This reads like a statement and not a question.  What are you stuck with?

The question is - how can you calculate weighted defect backlog in Jira based on the value in another field such as Workaround Impact?

Hi Ray.  In Jira server you would need to use an additional marketplace add-on such as Automation for Jira, ScriptRunner, PowerScript etc.  You don't get automatically calculated fields out of the box, unfortunately.
