can we add custom field in WSJF like Job size in place of story point , how it will calculate then WSJF value based on the value of job size .

when we install WSJF for JIRA , automaticaly it adds three field which calclulate cost of delay, duartion is taking from story point.

but what if i need to calculate WSJF for EPIC where i dn want to give storypoints and want to give job size as duration.

Added the job size as custom field for issue type ËPIC”, and it is calculating the value of WSJF based on it. we just need to map the custom field value with WSJF component using WSJF configuration.only project admin can perform this task.

Hey @aarti rajput ,

ScriptRunner's Scripted Fields feature lets you make "calculate fields". So if you have a conversion between storypoints and job size, you can code that into ScriptRunner and it will dynamically calculate that every time you load the issue view.

This blog post might help shed a bit more light onto it: https://www.adaptavist.com/blog/how-to-prioritise-issues-in-jira-using-wsjf-as-scripted-fields/

Best,

Hi @aarti rajput

if you want to save yourself a headache with setting this up you can also have a look on other available plugins for backlog prioritization.

We recently launched Foxly - Backlog Priority Scoring for Jira Cloud that gives you the option to choose and customize your prioritization method - including WSJF and you can use filters in the app to get the backlog view you need and want to prioritize....including filtering by issue type like Epics you mentioned.

PS: The calculated priority score is also available as a custom field so you can JQL it or use in Automation for Jira.
