Display sum of custom field values of linked issue

Question

Hi Team,

We have 2 levels in issue type

Program - Level 1

Project - Level 2

Program is composed of multiple projects, we used Linked issues field to define this relationship

Now we would like to perform a sum of a custom field (numeric) in projects and populate it in the appropriate field in program

We understand this can be done by a custom field "Calculate number field", please guide us more on this on how to do it

Thanks

Vasant

Hi,

I can advise a solution using a plugin but I will need more information :

* What is a program? is it an issue?
* you say that "Now we would like to perform a sum of a custom field (numeric) in projects" : Have you added a custom field to the project using a plugin?

Can you please give detailed info (or a use case)?

thank you.

Hello Vasant,

You can only achieve this by implementing a custom plugin.

If you are willing to do, make me know and I will try to add some code snippets to guide you.
