Sum custom field in Task and Story

[Ismael]

Hi,

We need to create a rule 

I need to create a rule that is capable of adding a faithful custom called Story Point (Portfolio) of all the tasks of the Story and Task type, and the sum is displayed in a field called Current Story Point, located in the Epic.

Hello @Ismael Vicente-Zabalegui 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Is that the entirety of your rule; 3 components?

If so, one problem is that the {{lookupIssues}} list is only populated if your use a Lookup Issue action. You don't appear to have one of those. Refer to this page for details on the Lookup Issues action.

Second size is not the correct function so sum up numeric values from a list of issue. The correct function is sum. Refer to this page for more information about functions you can use with lists of issues.

Note that the above page references are for the latest version of Jira Data Center. You should change the version selector in the upper right corner to the version that matches what you use to get the documents that align with that version.

Adding to Trudy's answer...

If you want to sum a custom field and save the result in another issue, you cannot use the Lookup Issues action; that action does not support custom fields for the Data Center version of automation rules yet: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-877

The possible workarounds depend upon your rule structure, and you likely would need to call the REST API issue search with JQL, using the Send Web Request action, and then sum the field from the web response.

Kind regards,
Bill
