Jira Automation - Help with creating variables from custom field drop downs and adding them together

Philip Ng_rkxzy7

I have multiple custom fields that are drop downs. I want my automation to look up the custom fields and if it equals one of the drop down value, I want to assign it a numeric value, such as 30. So I created a variable and assigned the value there. This will be done for a few custom fields. Then I want it to sum up the values.

 

So I created this automation (paraphrasing the fields to keep this short)

If Custom_field Q1 = A1

Then Create a variable - qone = 30

Else

If Custom_field Q1= A2

 

Then Create a variable - qone = 20

 

 

 

If Custom_field Q2 = A1

Then Create a variable - qtwo= 20

Else

If Custom_field Q2= A2

Then Create a variable - qtwo= 10

 

Then Edit Issue

Edit Custom Field

 

{#=}}{{qone}}+{{qtwo}}{{/}}

 

However, I am not getting any values to appear. When I try to log it, the value is blank in the audit log like it is not actually creating the variable. If I do not use an If/Else and only and if, it was working, but I need it to check the value of the Custom Field. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Please disregard my question. I figured it out myself. I have to create the variable at the start to use them outside their branches
