Number format conversion

sreeram_anikodemahadevan

I am trying to auto populate a number field from a custom text field on transition using automation.

I have a custom text field that holds a hexadecimal value, which I would like to convert to decimal value and populate that in to a number field when transitioning the state from any-state to "done".

I am able to read the string from the custom-text field using automation but am unable to change the format to decimal

tried using field.asNumber.format option, but its not working (changes value to None)

Example value in text field - 0xA

Expected value in number field - 10

How can I achieve this during the automation?

Hi @sreeram_anikodemahadevan -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You may force the conversion by adding the hexadecimal value to 0 in a math expression, like this:

{{#=}}0+{{issue.MyHexField}}{{/}}

Kind regards,
Bill

Thanks @Bill Sheboy worked like a charm

@Bill Sheboy how do we do the other way around as well?
I doing a math on the HEX field and writing to another field. The resulting number always ends up in decimal.
How do I convert the decimal to hex?

I was not able to find support for that in automation rules, such as with the format() function.
