Script Runner - Calculation from Attributes

[Luigi Lari]

Dear all,

I would like to post this question as I am not proficient in script writing. Could someone assist me with these two use cases? I am attaching slides I have prepared to aid comprehension.

The first use case involves calculations of number fields.
The second use case entails calculations I need to perform by associating numbers with text fields derived from certain drop-down menus.

•  

  Regarding the first use case, I specify these conditions:

  • The calculation is triggered whenever a number field on the children is manually modified.
  • The numeric values of the Epics cannot be changed manually (override).
  • The result of the calculation on the Epic must be available immediately after updating the child tickets.
  • When there are no Child Issues, return empty fields at the Epic level.
  • When only one value exists, still perform the calculation (e.g., ("Capex Value" Child Issue A1 + 0)).

  Thank you.

Hi @Luigi Lari , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question!

First, I added some labels as I think they will help you find an audience that could help you more with the scripting side.

Adaptavist has a library of scripts available, which I would always recommend for someone (like me) who isn't an experienced scripter, to start from - https://library.adaptavist.com/search?library-content%5Bpage%5D=2&library-content%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bapp_pretty_names%5D%5B0%5D=ScriptRunner%20for%20Jira&library-content%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bplatforms%5D%5B0%5D=cloud&library-content%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bfeature_names%5D%5B0%5D=listeners 

When you talk about something that is triggered by another action, normally this would be a Listener, so I have already filtered for you in this link here for Jira, cloud, and Listeners, but I would recommend anyway you have a look there and see if it helps you.

Good luck and cheers!
