Hi Subhash,

you don't need any script to show the two number fields on the create issue screen. They are just two standard Number custom fields from Jira.

The calculated field, "Overall Value", on the other hand, needs to be a Calculated number custom field form JMCF and configured as you already did (you'll need to update the customfield IDs though once you recreate the first two fields). However, note that the overall value will _not_ appear on the Create screen, only on the Issue View screen.

Hi David,

Thank you so much for reply on this.

Admin/contributor level user will put value into first 2 fields. these would be used for demand issue type.

which script should i add for first two field so i am able to see those on create issue screen?

Please help.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi,

the third field is the calculated field, and it seems properly configured. But shouldn't the first two be standard Number custom fields, into which users will actually be able to input values?
