How to clean up a custom field

[Seth Mason]

I have a custom field with about 50 values that I'd like to export to .csv/excel to review with other stakeholderes for correctness.

How can I export this list of values?

Hi @Pieter Helsen 

Have you considered triggering your rule on changes to the inputs of the Impact Score instead?

That may work for some fields, such as Goal Impact, but it does not appear to work for Insights.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy 

Thanks for the reply, definitely a good suggestion, though that would cause additional automation runs and, as you mentioned, also doesn't take into account changes caused by Insights, which are also included in my calculation. 

I'm starting to think it may just be better for our engineering lead to consult the roadmap in parallel to his sprint planning.

Hello Pieter, 

This issue might require some more attention from one of our support engineers, I think.

There are some fields that are not supported in automation, such as formulas, so my first question would be what's the type of your field "Impact score"?

My assumption since you said it's calculated, is that the one you want to use is a formula field, but the one you selected in this automation rule is a field with the same name, from a different project, not of formula type. Because formula fields are not even proposed to you in the automation interface, normally. 

That would also explain why the rule doesn't run. 

Now, you couldn't create a rule based on this formula field, so you can revert back to creating a rule based on the fields that are part of the calculation. so for example, if you have an "Reach" field and two other fields that compose your calculation, then you can create the rule based on those for the rule. 

If you need a support engineer to take a look, please open a support ticket by clicking on "Give Feedback" in JPD, at the bottom of the left navigation and select Support Engineers.

Hi Hermance,

Thanks for the reply. It is indeed the default weighted score field that's present in the default setup of Product Discovery.

I've checked my custom fields, but there aren't any custom fields called 'Impact score', so if Automation shouldn't suggest calculated fields, that's likely a bug. 

As you suggest, I've switched to monitoring changes to the Effort and Value fields, but if Bill Sheboy is correct, I can't monitor changes to Insights, so that's only a partial fix. 

[Hermance NDounga]

Yes, Bill is indeed correct, Insights is also one of the field type that isn't supported yet in automation, unfortunately. We will be exploring ways on how to integrate Jira Product Discovery fields types in Automation, but it is not on our immediate roadmap.
