How would i be able to create a calculated field in Jira?

Question

I would like to create a field in Jira that automatically populates with a value depending on the the values of other custom fields. Please see the attached picture. I would like to work out the cost of a resource depending on role, number of days, price per day and number of weeks required.

For example; a Business Analyst is £360 a day, needed for 2 days per week for 10 weeks. So the total cost is £7,200.

https://library.adaptavist.com/search?page=1&products=jira&platforms=server&term=sum has some examples of adding up fields from issues.

Thank you!

Just another question, do yo have a script for adding the value in custom fields together?

Hi @Kirsty Mcloughlin

This is possible but you would need an app like ScriptRunner for Jira for doing calculations.

In your case.

* Create field1 "Days per week"
* Create field2 "Number of weeks"
* Create a field3 "Roles" of type select list
* Using ScriptRunner create a Scripted field called "Total cost" and you would need to write a script to perform this simple calculation.

Take a look at this page where you will also find examples.
