Jira Cloud Automation: difference between two custom fields not shown in a third custom field

[Laviniu Chis]

Hello!

I have an issue with the following rule. I want to subtract 'Valoare încasata €' (collected amount) out of 'valoarea facturata €'(billed value) and put the result in 'Rest de plata' ( Amount due). 

Everything seems to work fine as the audit log suggests 

 

but still the result it is not shown in the Amount due field.

Amy ideas?

Hello @Laviniu Chis 

The diff() function applies only to date/time fields.

If those are number fields you need to use the minus() function. Refer to
