How can I create a percent field?

Rhett_gmys65

I'm thinking a need a number type field that displays as a percentage. Maybe a text field that converts to a number elsewhere may be necessary. I'm not sure what the best route to go would be.

Example:

1. User creates an issue and has to enter a value in a field named Confidence.

2. The end-user should not have to enter the percent symbol '%' or a decimal '.', just an integer in the range of 0-100.

3. Once the issue has been created, the value should display as a percent.

4. The value in the Confidence will be used in a score calculation.

Any ideas? Any add-ons? Thoughts?

Hi @Rhett - I am not completely certain I got your question right. So, what you are trying to do is to have a custom field that can take a number between 0 and 100. And after issue create form (or issue edit form) is submitted, this number (no calculation intended) just shows a percent (%) symbol suffixed to it ?

If my understanding is correct, we are not really getting into the scenario of calculated or scripted fields in any scope. If the '%' symbol is just for a way to show the users the value of the field showing is a percentage, have you considered adding this to the field name itself ? Something to say - "Confidence (%)" ?

Also, here are a couple of pointers that may help, if you haven't already looked at them -

Hello,

Here is what you can do, but you need two add-ons for this: Jira Suite Utilities and Script Runner.

First with JSU plugin, you can add a regular expression validator on your create transition to make sure user enter a number between 0-199.

Second, you can create a scripted field with Script Runner plugin and add % to the number entered by the user with a short groovy script. Then show it to the user on the view screen of the project.

Hope this helps.

Hi Rhett,

I just wanted to quickly jump in and confirm that you will need an app for that. If you were using Jira Workflow Toolbox (JWT) you could accomplish both requirements with a single app though:-) https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/29496/jira-workflow-toolbox?hosting=datacenter&tab=overview

Use cases for calculating a field can be found here:

https://apps.decadis.net/display/JWT/Calculated+Number+Field

The display format can be set independently:

Regarding the validation of the input field you could use a boolean validator to ensure the number range is being enforced:

https://apps.decadis.net/display/JWT/Boolean+condition+and+validator+with+math.+date-time+or+text-string+terms

Cheers,

Christian

In my jira Instance, i just created a dop down list

99%

100%

You completely understood and thank you for your reply. I thought about adding the (%) to the field name but hoped someone had a method to change the display itself.

Rhett_gmys65

This is the preferred method and we have ScriptRunner. However, I'm extremely new to using it. I couldn't find anything on their site about how to do this. Any other resources out there that might help in learning?

Hi,

This is the official documentation for script field:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.0.4/jira/scripted-fields.html

A custom script like below would do:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
def user = authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def customfield = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("number1")

issue.getCustomFieldValue(customfield);
def percentage = "%"+issue.getCustomFieldValue(customfield).toString()
return percentage

To limit the number between 0-100, you need to use Jira Suite Utilities Regular Expression Validator. You need to add it to your workflow transition as validator:

Hope this helps,

Elifcan

Hey @[deleted] ,

I also have the same question.

But from the above '2' links i got nothing.

Please can you specify some more how to add "%" in my custom field?

Hello @Rhett ,

Have you fixed the same? Did you get that '%' on your field?

Please suggest me too.

Thanks!

Akbar Pasha.
