how to calculate the sum of 2 custom fields via a groovy script field?

mel vega

Hi,

I tried this script in a groovy script field :

FormField ITCost = getFieldByName ("IT Cost (T&M)")

FormField OPSCost = getFieldByName ("Total OPS Number of MD Time & Material")

def ITCV = ITCost.getFormValue() ?: 0

def OPSCV = OPSCost.getFormValue() ?: 0

def ITOPSVSUM = ITCV + OPSCV

but I got this error message :

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script5.groovy: 1: unable to resolve class FormField @ line 1, column 11. FormField ITCost = getFieldByName ("IT Cost (T&M)") ^ Script5.groovy: 2: unable to resolve class FormField @ line 2, column 11. FormField OPSCost = getFieldByName ("Total OPS Number of MD Time & Material") ^ 2 errors

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mel,

I can confirm that if a value is null then it will not be able to be used in a calculation.

You could use an if else statement to check if one of the values is null and only do the calculation if both fields contain values.

An example of what this might look like using Nic's code above is below.

// Get values from 2 custom fields
def valA =  getCustomFieldValue("A") as Double
def valB = getCustomFieldValue("B") as Double

// check both fields contain valid numeric values
if (valA != null && valB != null){
    return valA + valB
}else{
    // return to some code to indicate a null value in one of the fields
 return "-1"   
}

I hope this helps

Kristian

Are you importing your classes in advance of this section of script? If not this could be the cause of your error.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

Hi,

Try this simple code in field C

def aval = getCustomFieldValue("A")
def bval = getCustomFieldValue("B")
return aval+bval

Assuming A,B,C are number fields

Chander Inguva

I agree with Phil.

Use def only when you don't know the type, else use int/double accordingly

Hi thanks to you and phill. by Try this simple code in field C, you mean in the description or in Inline scripted field tab via Admin ?

OPSCV is a calculated number field. Is it impacting ?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I think you're confusing a script with a behaviour. Formfield is not a script object, you'd actually want to use custom field objects. Or, as it's groovy, the easier option of just "def something = x".

In fact, you should just enter

return getCustomFieldValue("A") + getCustomFieldValue("B")

in the scripted field and set the output type to number

Oops. Chander beat me to it! Sorry!

mel vega

Thanks it works except if the value are null. how can I precise that please?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

You pretty much had it in your question to be honest. But I'd do something like def returnval = 0 def myA = getCustomFieldValue("A") ?:0 def myB = getCustomFieldValue("B") ?:0 return (myA + myB)

Hi Mel, I am glad the solution works. Thank you for accepting the answer. Kristian

Hi @Kristian Walker (Adaptavist)

Sorry I get back to this request because finally some of my number fields can be null. Is there a solution to integrate a value= null into the formula? if not would you have an idea to be able to add several number fields, assuming that one or several of them can be null?

thanks in advance for your help

Melissa

You would just need to check in the if statement for if value == null. You will not be able to add a null value to a number. What you would need to do is have a separate if statement for each field before the calculation which adds the values up and if it any field is null set its value to 0 so that it can be used in the calculation.

I hope this helps

Is there a way to do this with time fields? I was able to use this same code, however I get a result of 0, and I'm thinking it's b/c my custom fields are time/date fields.

I am attempting to calculate the total duration between two custom date fields using:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
return getCustomFieldValue("Outage End") - getCustomFieldValue("Outage Start")

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I don't think the fields will be returning objects you can perform arithmetic on.

I seem to remember that they'll give you date/time stamps, which you could convert to "epoch" time, which is a number of (milli)seconds since a base date. Then subtract them, and convert the resulting number of (milli)seconds back up to minutes/hours/years/etc

I'm trying to script a validation on summing just 2nd value from multiple cascading fields. Does anyone know if this is possible?

cfValues["CascadingSelect 1"]?.values()*.value == ["AAA", "a1"]
cfValues["CascadingSelect 2"]?.values()*.value == ["BBB", "b1"]

a1 + b1 == 100
