JMWE error "expected a number but got" on a sum() event-based calculation.

[Sally Wheeler]

I am new to using JMWE and I probably have the syntax incorrect but I cannot figure out what is wrong.

I have an issue type named shipment in which a number field is entered with the number of samples in that shipment.

This issue type is under an epic.

I would like a total number of samples field to be shown on the epic view screen where it is continually updated every time the number of samples field is updated in any shipment for the epic.

This is what I did. But the field still says None. I even went to a shipment and switched a number and switched it back to hopefully trigger the calculation and still nothing. Can you help to clarify what I am misunderstanding? The error it states: "expected a number but got: | sum({issue.fields.customfield_10083})"

Hi,

Hope it helps.

Hello Mohan,

as described in the documentation link by Mohan, there are multiple mail listeners.

To avoid creation, use a listener that only adds comments to existing issues.

At the same time you should ensure that other email is cleaned up properly, otherwise you will see a number of exceptions in your log file informing you that no issue can be created from an email.

We have streamlined all that by adding a mail pre-filter to Jira, so that we can

1. serve multiple projects in different ways
2. auto-reply in case something goes wrong

There are a number of mail filtering tools out there. We are using the old fashioned procmail.

Regards
