I just love product discovery! Lately i'm automating calculating priority of ideas. I'm doing this based on 'Custom Formula' fields with 'write your own' expressions.
I have found the page that describes what we can do with expression based forumlas:
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-product-discovery/docs/expression-based-formulas/
I'm however really missing the option to do x to the power of n (x^n):
Why do i need it:
The field weights are ranged 0 to 5 (with 0 the field not being filled).
To make higher values worth more, I need to move from a linear set of values to an exponential set.
Consider the readability of my current solution vs my preferred solution:
Current:
{__impact_0to1}*(1-({__effort_0to1}*{__effort_0to1}*{__effort_0to1}*{__effort_0to1}))Wanted:
{__impact_0to1} * (1 - {__effort_0to1} ^ 4 )Question:
Perhaps this is possible already but not documented, or done differently.
In that case, please tell me how to do this. If not, perhaps add it to the backlog?
