Calculate field value

[Deleted user]

Hi every one

My manager want me to have a custom field in JIRA for ranking issues. The value of this issue must have been calculated based on multiplication another 2 fields value.
Assume:
Complexity : High - Medium - Low values that we give them a rating from 3 to1.

Periority: Blocker - Critical - Major - Minor that we give them a rating from 4 to 1.

And a third field we called Rank that we want to get it's value from this formula:
Rank = Complexity * Priority

I didn't have any scripting exprience and I think it's nesesary for doing this. If it's nesessary please introduce some material for quick and easy learning of scrpting languages. :)

Cheers

I try this code and it works fine. Thanks for your help.

def double rank = 12.0;
def complexity = getCustomFieldValue("Complexity");
if(complexity == null)
	return rank;

switch(complexity.value)
{
	case "High": 	       
		switch(issue.priorityObject.name)
		{
			case "Minor": 		rank = 12.0;	break;
        		case "Major": 		rank = 9.0;	break;
        		case "Critical": 	rank = 8.0;	break;
        		case "Blocker": 	rank = 6.0;	break;
        		default: 		rank = 12.0;	break;
		};
                break;
      	case "Medium": 
		switch(issue.priorityObject.name)
		{
			case "Minor": 		rank = 11.0;	break;
        		case "Major": 		rank = 7.0;	break;
        		case "Critical": 	rank = 5.0;	break;
        		case "Blocker": 	rank = 4.0;	break;
        		default: 		rank = 11.0;	break;
		};
                break;
      	case "Low":
		switch(issue.priorityObject.name)
		{
			case "Minor": 		rank = 10.0;	break;
        		case "Major": 		rank = 3.0;	break;
        		case "Critical": 	rank = 2.0;	break;
        		case "Blocker": 	rank = 1.0;	break;
        		default: 		rank = 10.0;	break;
		};
                break;
        default: 	rank = 12.0;
}

return rank;

Also, I'd avoid calling the result "rank", because

a) Jira Agile uses that name

b) you're not really ranking issues - a rank usually determines the order in a list, and is unique (you can always say issue X outranks issue Y), whereas your formula allows X and Y to have the same value. It's something more like "urgency" or "weight"
