How do I set up a field that returns count of selected value options for a custom field?

Andrew Zimmerman_rvmutq

I have a multi-select custom field called "Teams Involved" with a long list of field value options. Users want a way to quickly see the number of teams involved on an issue to aid in prioritization and reporting.

Is there a way to set up a scripted field that returns the numbered "count" of all the *selected* options of this specific custom field on an issue?

Our organization uses Scriptrunner and we are on Jira Server v7.13.5

 

Thanks so much!

Yes. 

Add a scripted field in the custom field list as usual.  You'll need to change the "searcher" to one of the number searchers if you want to search and/or sort on this.

Then go to the scripted fields section in Scriptrunner admin, find the field, set the "template" to numeric, and just add

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue)?.find { it.id == "<your multi select custom field id>" }

return issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField).size()

Note that this is from memory, and it might give you a static code check on the last line, you may need to "cast" the return to another type (try adding (long) after the "return"), and I've said <your custom field> which will be the 5 digit number for the field, which is a bit blunt.  But it should work
