Can i create custom categories using a formula involving other categories?

[Natalie Hansard]

I want to create a task with categories: difficulty, priority, and price. Is there a way to create a formula in Jira and set the price to be automatically filled using other categories? Meaning price = difficulty * priority

Hey, @Natalie Hansard. Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

you can easily create this type of calculation using Automation for Jira. If you're unfamiliar with it, I would recommend you go through the features to learn how to use it, which is simple, no-code automation that helps you automate use cases like the one you're looking for.
