Running into an error when trying to add two custom fields for all issues

Dipen_kozlm6

Hello team

                     I am working on an automation rule to see if it would work with a small sample of data. However I am running into the following error

Error:

Error Rendering smart values when executing this rule.

Missing parameter(s) for operator +u: +

# of issues for my test - 2

Purpose: get a total of story points committed at the end of the Sprint. 

Attached is the Screen shot of the Automation rule. 

Here's what the automation rule looks like

Line 1 : I am printing the values of the fields before using the summation formula in lines 2 and 3.

The values are as printing correctly for 

Key, Summary, Story point estimate and Aggregated Story points

Line 2: I am trying to add values for Custom fields using up lookupissues - THIS IS NOT working

Line 3: I am trying to add values for Custom fields using a diff way. - That's NOT working either

Line 4: Closing braces for lookup issues. 

The ideal formula would be to update the Aggregate Story points (custom field) with values from Story point estimate (for Issue 1 and Issue 2)

Aggregate Story points = issue1.Story point estimate + issue2.Story point estimate

Not sure if this is a syntax error or fundamentally wrong in the way I am trying to solve this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Hello @Dipen 

For line 3 try removing the issue. prefix from both smart values. Because you are trying to access those values from within the block that is iterating through the lookupIssues results, it infers that you are wanting the information for the current issue being printed from that results set. So you don't have to include the issue object reference, just like you didn't include it when you printed the key or summary.

I suspect line 2 is not working because you have it within the block that is iterating through the issues in the lookup list. Again, like above, and field references within that block are inferred to be a reference to the current issue being printed from the results set. Since the value you want is not for a specific instance but rather is a sum across the entire result set, you need to extract that line. I think it would work if you put it either before the {{#lookupIssues}} line, or after line 4.
