Calculate Currency Field

[Darko Jozipovic]

I have a currency field in Jira that I would like to calculate The result of currency field 1 + 2 should be inserted into currency field 3. What options do I have via automation or script runner? Or is there a possibility to realize this

Hi Darko - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You should be able to do this with a simple automation rule. 

Take a look at this post to see if it helps.

Hello,

Unfortunately I can't select the field to edit in the automation because it is a special currency field.

Are you using an add-on app for the field? If so (and I suspect you are) what app is it? Have tried to contact their support? 

[Darko Jozipovic]

Yeah i am using a add inn ( Fields - Custom Field Types for Jira)

So, what app is that?

I suggest you contact the vendor for support then.

Hi @Darko Jozipovic 

Adding to John's suggestions...

Sometimes custom fields added by marketplace apps can be accessed in rules using their custom field id, such as {{issue.customfield_12345}} rather than the smart value name.

To learn if your field is supported by rules, please use this how-to article: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/find-the-smart-value-for-a-field/

And even when a field is supported, it may not be listed in the rule action's dropdown fields.  In that case, please use a JSON expression to update the field: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/advanced-field-editing-using-json/

Kind regards,
Bill
