Jira automation - how do I make my math expression conditional

Ian Rees

I have an automation statement where I am working out % complete and this rolls up to show %complete in the parent Epic.   It all works ok but occassionally, the child issues in the Epics have no Story Points and therefore I get a divide by 0 error.  I've been trying to use IF to make this conditional so that if varTotalStoryPoints.asNumber is zero, I just assign 0 to the variable and avoid the divide by zero error but I just cant get the syntax right - can anybody help please ?

{{#=}} {{varStoryPointsComplete.asNumber}} / {{varTotalStoryPoints.asNumber}} * 100 {{/}}

Hello @Ian Rees 

For this automation, the 'If Else' construct would be required. From the available details, I understand that you are storing the Total Story Points and Story Points Complete in variables.

So, when we select the If clause, opt for the 'Advanced compare condition'. The settings should be:

• First value should be set as 'varTotalStoryPoints.asNumber'
• The second value should be 0
• Condition 'equals'

I hope this helps set up the IF condition. Please reach you if you have any follow-up questions.

Kindly accept the answer if this helps.
