Please help! Thank you in Advance.

You can multiply two fields in Automation using (Field1 smart value) * (Field2 smart value), but you'll want to make sure you're surrounding your expression with {{#=}} {{/}} so that Automation recognizes it as a math expression.

Here is what the final expression should look like:

{{#=}}{{issue.Field1.value}} * {{issue.Field2.value}}{{/}}

So based on the fields you listed, you should be able to use the following expression to set the Score field in the Edit automation action:

{{#=}}{{issue.Impact.value}} * {{issue.Probability.value}}{{/}}
