Filtering on Custom Formula field

Question

Within Jira Product Discovery , we have created a custom formula field named: Project Management Capacity. The idea is to use weighted expressions to automatically calculate the "weight" of a project. See screenshot below.

The Field looks like the following under the Overview view

Question at hand....How can I create a filter on the value shown to the right of the Project Management Capacity?

That does not appear to be possible.

JPD custom fields like that are dynamically calculated, apparently when they are drawn in a view.  And so they have no value available for JQL because the value is never saved.

There is a separate community group for JPD, and so you may also want to check there in case someone has found a work-around for this need: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Product-Discovery/gh-p/jira-product-discovery

A different way to solve this would be to not use the JPD calculated field.  Instead add a numeric field and set the value using an automation rule.  That would be saved and then be searchable with JQL.

@Bill Sheboy I'm asking how to write a JQL that calculates the score in the Project Management Capacity field

Hi @Ben Krichko

Are you asking how to write a JQL for the project, comparing the "Project Management Capacity" to 10?

Or, are you asking about creating a view in JPD which filters based on that same field and value?

Kind regards,
Bill
