Printing the total number of issues into the field.

[Kadir Ş_]

In a simple explanation, I have a Total Issues field, and I have a project. What I want to do is to print the number of except done issues in my project into this field every morning at 10.

This automation doesnt work.

Hi @Kadir Ş_ -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Please describe the problem you are trying to solve?  That will help the community to offer suggestions to better help.

I am asking that question, because what you describe does not match what that rule is doing...

You ask for help to "print the number of except done issues in my project into this field every morning at 10".

However the rule is apparently:

• running every 5 minutes and accessing all issues in the project
• checking if the issue was created before tomorrow (which is what startOfDay(1) equals) and so that will be every issue in your project
• and then setting a field to the number of links of all possible types...potentially including duplicate counts of the same issues for different link types

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboythank you for your response. I had written "5 minutes" only for testing purposes. The other part is what I want to achieve is the daily change in this data. In other words, if there are 15 records yesterday, it could be 20 tomorrow. My exact goal is to write the total of issues from the previous day in the field I created.

I hope you understand to me 

Kind regards

It is unclear to me what issues you are trying to count.  For example, are you trying to count "how many issues are linked to each issue"?  Can you please confirm what the count is?

And please note: automation rule triggers and branches are limited to 100 total issues.  If you are trying to do this for an entire project it may not be possible with automation as you have shown.
