Summing of a numerical custom field

Heinrich Graupner

Hi

I want to know if it possible to sum a numerical custom field over a project will all its sub-tasks?

For example reference, say I have a numerical custom field that is called "Order Value"
This Custom Field then needs to sum all the values in a project "XYZ".

I want to show this value in another project "Sales Purchased".

Hi Heinrich,

You should be able to do that with Automation For Jira. Take a look at this previous post for guidance:

Good Luck!

The summation works but it is not showing any value

John Funk

You are using two different fields - one for the edit and one for the summing. I am not sure if that is the issue or not, but the examples don't do it that way. I really think this is probably the problem.

Also, is there any error you are getting? Does the Audit log just say Successful but doesn't update the value?

Hi @Heinrich Graupner,

Try our Great Gadgets app. It has an Issue Formula gadget that allows summing-up a numerical custom field of the issue from a specified filter. The result is then displayed on your Jira dashboard.

I still don't understand why Atlassian continue with this super complicate method to sum numerical values of subtasks fields just to be reported on the parent... This is super commun but I still have the same problem to do..
