I need to auto increment the field " Numbers" which is a text field and I am using "Automation for JIRA" for the same. Please find the attached rule which is not working because I am missing something in the rule. Can anyone please look into this .
My requirement is that when ever any new issue is created in my project the "Numbers" field should be auto incincremented instead of doing it manually. Since I am not very good with scripting I am trying to use "automation for JIRA"
You can achieve that by using the smart function "asNumber()" to convert the text field to a number, however you need to be sure that only numeric values will be present in the field.
You can do this as follows:
{{#increment}}{{issue.Numbers.asNumber}}{{/}}
The increment function cannot read strings and guess that they might be numbers. You'll need to code something that converts to a number, adds something to it, then converts it back to a string. I do not believe automation can do that.
You'll need something like Scriptrunner, or change to using a numeric field (then the increment function in Automation will work)
