Dear ALL,
I’d like to code an automation rule which sums the values of a custom field coming from a bunch of a specific issue type, let’s suppose it’s a Task.
Where this bunch of Task is coming from a JQL and let’s suppose there are 2 Task. (I’m aware that unfortunately the lookupIssues function doesn’t support the custom field).
I need now to sum the custom_field_x value of Task 1 with the custome_field_x value of Task 2.
As you can see from the log:my smart variable Sum is doing the sum of the same custom_field itself: do you know (given it’s possible) as how to sum custom_field_x of Task 1 with the custome_field_x of Task 2? Such that the sum is 3?
Here the remaining estimate:
and here the Sum smart variable:
Thanks, Vincenzo.
You are correct the Jira Data Center version of the Lookup Issues action only supports a limited number of fields at this time.
There are two possible workarounds, depending upon your rule needs: the bulk-handling feature or calling the REST API endpoints.
Please look here to learn more about these methods: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/How-Can-I-Sum-Up-Multiple-Issues-into-a-Parent-Number-Field/bc-p/2883071#M16701
Kind regards,

Hi@Bill Sheboy.
It's a real pity this functionality is not yet available for Jira DC (like also the "Advanced branching" being not available as well).
Thanks and always a pleasure getting your comments/suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Vincenzo.
