Jira Automation: Increment in Custom field on a transition

[Aleena Umaiir]

I want to add an automation for an increment in a custom field "Count", on a transition. I am adding a query, in Audit log it says, issue is edited but it's not actually. 

My custom field type in Number, and name is Count.
Here is the query:  {{issue.Count.plus(1)}}

Hey @Aleena Umaiir 

That function will work on fields only.

if you want to add numbers such as "1", you need to use this:

{{#=}}{{issue.Count}} + 1{{/}}

give it a try.

Hi @Aleena Umaiir

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I will suggest another version also.

Again, Use Jira Automation. See the attached screen and use the following. Replace the XXXXX with the ID of your field.

{
"fields": {
"customfield_XXXXX": "{{#=}} issue.customfield_XXXX + 1 {{/}}"
}
}
