Create a cumulative field in JSD

Rita Saad YOUNES

Gd day,

I want to create a cumulative field in JIRA that add for the user every month 1.25 to a field called annual Balance, What am trying to do is in HR service management try to add for every user his annual balance leave so every one month this amount should be increased as of 1.25.

 

Is there a way to make it or an add -on to help me achieve this?

 

Best regards

Hi @Rita Saad YOUNES 

You can do this using a custom field and an Automation Rule!

You'll need to be a Product Admin to implement the below.

---

Custom Field:

You'll need a field to keep the numeric values in.

Create a custom Number field - and give it a name, eg. Annual Balance

---

Automation: 

Create a rule to add to the field each month:

• Trigger: Scheduled
  • Run rule every = 1 months
  • Run a JQL search... = TRUE (checkbox)
  • JQL - insert relevant JQL here, eg. search for "Employee" issue type
  • Only include issues that have changed... = FALSE (checkbox)
• Action: Edit Issue
  • Field = Annual Balance
    • Value = {{issue.Cumulative Number Field}} + 1.25

^ This rule runs automatically each month, and adds 1.25 to the current value in that field. The Smart Value is dynamically locating each relevant issue's current balance, and adding to it from there.
