Calculate new field value based on other field values in Jira

Sneha Gopinath

I need to calculate new field value based on other field value in current issue. We need to write a custom script to achieve it.

For example, we have following fields Estimate ( 1-5) ,Competitive (1-5), Customer Impact (1-3), Market Need (1-5) and Priority (1-4)

When estimate is a , Competitive b, Customer Impact c, Market need d , priority e, then new field value is x.

Please can someone help me with the custom script configuration.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Sneha Gopinath ,

Are you trying to automate this on a particular screen (i.e. dynamically change the value of the new field), or in a transition ?

Also, are those fields select lists?

Hi,

You could get the result you are looking for with calculated attributes in the app Elements Checklist.

In the example picture below, Status, Impact, and Probability are all select lists, but the list values could be numbers, letters, or anything else you need. The Risk column is a calculated attribute.

In order to calculate the risk based on the choices made in the previous three columns, the app allows you to use logical expressions. Checklist risk matrix calculated attribute.png

This solution doesn't require any scripting, but it is a paid app and the Checklist would replace the custom fields you currently use.

Hope that helps!

Hello Laura,

I installed the trial version plugin. But when I try to configure Structure, it is not accepting custom field value of type other than numbers. Please can you let me know what am I missing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, it looks like the syntax is not correct for the Estimate attribute. You'll need to put the name of the attribute in brackets and quotation marks like in the example I posted.

You can check out all the details about how advanced calculated fields can be configured here:
