How to automatically calculate the sum of two values?

Question

I have a team-managed project and I have 4 custom fields that indicates cost.

I need one of them (Total) to be the sum of the other three.

I also need this value (Total) to be recalculated whenever I change one of the other three fields.

Which is the easiest way to do that?

Hi @Nicolle Diniz

If you look at the error messages below the field, it is showing the unknown field "Custom Field Name" in the JSON.  Perhaps clear that information from Additional Fields and get your edit to work first, then try any additional edits.

For your edit of the "Ticket - Total" field, please remove the extra math syntax and try this:

{{issue.Ticket - Implantação.plus(issue.Ticket - Licença anual)}}

And if that does not work, the smart values may not be accepting some of the characters in the field name.  Instead try using the custom field ID values.  You can find them in the admin screens or from trying the steps in this how-to article:

Kind regards,

Based on this doc, I tried {{#=}}{{issue.Ticket - Implantação.plus(issue.Ticket - Licença anual)}}{{/}} but I can't even save the rule:
