How to calculated weighted defect backlog for dashboard

Question

I am trying to calculated weighted defect backlog to include in a dashboard based on the value in the Workaround Impact field. For example, if Workaround Impact = 1, that should have a weight of 0.2, and if Workaround Impact = 2 that should have a weight of 0.1. I am using the Two Dimensional Filter widget to group by Workaround Impact and would like to use the calculated weight for those grouped values.

No, the weight is a factor based on the workaround impact. For example, if Workaround Impact = 1, that would have a weight of 0.2, and if Workaround Impact = 2 that would have a weight of 0.1.

Basically, what I am trying to do is calculate a weight of all open defects. I am using the Two Dimensional Filter widget to group by Workaround Impact. I'd like to multiply each grouped total by the appropriate related weight.

I'm open to suggestions if there is a better way to get that information.

Thanks,

Ray

@Ray Centa,

Are there any other factors that go into calculating the weight field?

Thanks,

Hi Ray.  In Jira server you would need to use an additional marketplace add-on such as Automation for Jira, ScriptRunner, PowerScript etc.  You don't get automatically calculated fields out of the box, unfortunately.
