How to use delivery progress from JIRA product discovery in automation.

[_Ekta Lala]

I am trying to automate a customized field in JPD based on delivery progress. However, delivery progress , % progress and delivery status all are showing as none or no value during query while it shows value in Delivery view. 

 

PS - Automation is not working because values are none.

Hi @_Ekta Lala 

Short answer: that cannot be done directly.

Jira Product Discovery (JPD) fields for delivery progress, calculated fields, etc. are only displayed in the UX and are not saved with the Idea.

A workaround for some of these fields is to dynamically re-calculate the value in an automation rule.  For delivery progress, this could be done using the Lookup Work Item Data action with JQL to identify the work items and perform the math.  Please note well: the rule scope will need to be multiple-project or global to allow access to items outside the JPD space (i.e., project) and thus the rule will need to be defined in the global rules list.

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks you Bill. I will try and share my findings. 

Meanwhile, Do you know what link relationship, I should use in automation to link items in delivery section of JPD? Currently, I am using 'implements' and it is just linking the item in overview but not doing any calculation of progress and others derived fields.
