Calculate the sum of all values of a Custom Field in linked issues

Question

https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/calculate-the-sum-of-all-values-of-a-custom-field-in-linked-issues

Is anyone else getting an error when trying to use this code? I found it in the 
 library

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueType = "Service Request with Approvals" // only display the sum on this issue type
def linkedIssueType = "Sub-task" // calculates for all linked issues of this type
def customField = "SLA NEW DUE DATE" // the custom field that you want to sum up

if (issue.getIssueType().name == issueType) {
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def sum = 0
issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each {issueLink ->
def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
if (linkedIssue.getIssueType().name == linkedIssueType) {
def technicalPointsField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName(customField)[0]
sum += linkedIssue.getCustomFieldValue(technicalPointsField)?:0
}
}
return sum
}

Please suggest a solution.

Hello Jacob.
If you want to try, there some just done scripts in Groovy for this your requirement specifically to work with custom fields in tasks (like time spent or whathever) and sub-tasks.

You can look at: https://github.com/GTessarini/JiraAutomations

I hope help you!
