How to create a numeric field with a value that increments value for every new issue created in a project.

You will have to create a calculated, read-only, custom field. You can either write your own add-on or use plugins like script runner to create a scripted field.

got the solution with the script runner plugin.

Create a text custom field (single line). In the example I added "Numbers" as field name. Then create a postfuntion with the script below.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.jql.parser.JqlQueryParser
import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.PagerFilter
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.search.SearchProvider

// get all the used numbers so far
def query = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(JqlQueryParser).parseQuery("project = JA AND 'Numbers' is not EMPTY ORDER BY 'Numbers' DESC")
def results = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchProvider).search(query,ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(),new PagerFilter(1))
int maxNumbers = 0
CustomField cField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Numbers")

// get the highest used number
for(Issue documentIssue: results.getIssues())

{ maxNumbers = documentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cField) as Integer }
// set the new number
def newNumbers = ++maxNumbers as String
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cField, newNumbers)

Hope this helps to anyone looking similar type of fields

Hi @Sid

I'm getting error in the last line " issue.setCustomFieldValue(cField, newNumbers) "

saying that - " The variable [issue] is undeclared "

Please help.

// get all the used Old_Test_ID so far
def query = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(JqlQueryParser).parseQuery("project = CEQB AND 'Old_Test_ID' is not EMPTY ORDER BY 'Old_Test_ID' DESC")
def results = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchProvider).search(query,ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(),new PagerFilter(1))
int maxOld_Test_ID = 0
CustomField cField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Old_Test_ID")

// get the highest used number
for(Issue documentIssue: results.getIssues())

{ maxOld_Test_ID = documentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cField) as Integer }
// set the new number
def newOld_Test_ID = ++maxOld_Test_ID as String
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cField, newOld_Test_ID)

Hi Dan,

I also got stuck at this point. The failure seems to be with the last line.

issue.setCustomFieldValue(cField, newOld_Test_ID)

Did you find a solution?
