Calculate field number based on Select list (if statement)

[EL]

Hi every one

It may sound like a simple question for you guys.

I would like to calculate value based on a simple select list:

If Select list value1= A, return 1

If Select list value2= B, return 2

Any advide please?

I was given this formula (thanks) but it does not return any data

if (issue.get("customfield_12345")==null)
  return null;
if (issue.get("customfield_12345").getValue().equals("A"))
  return 1;
if (issue.get("customfield_12345").getValue().equals("B"))
  return 2;

The @@Format annotation is for formatting the value. You want the @@Formula annotation for the formula that computes the value.

David,

Is it possible to do this with a range using the Calculated Text Field

So for instance..

<!-- @@Format:

if (issue.get("customfield_10104")==null)

return null;

if (issue.get("customfield_10104").getValue().compareTo(range 0 - 1.75)

return XS;

if (issue.get("customfield_10104").getValue().compareTo(range 2 - 4.75)

return S;

The custom field we want to it to pull in is the "Original Estimate" (use this customfield's ID in formula) so if we estimate .5h then this new field (calculated text field) called "T-Shirt Size" would automatically change into "XS" for Xtra Small

Does this make sense and is this possible?

Sure. But first, you want to create the formula in @@Formula, not @@Format (which is used to customize the formatting of Calculated Number fields).

Then, you could simply assign the field value to a variable and then use a cascade of "if" comparisons. But I don't understand why you're reading customfield_10104 when you're actually trying to use the "Original estimate" field.

In essence, you could do something like:

var = issue.get("customfield_10104")
if (var >= 2.0 and var <= 4.75)
  return "S";
if [....]

Issue has been resolved. the correct formula was:

<!-- @@Formula: 
if (issue.get("customfield_10401").equals("A5"))
return 1;
-->

Can you raise a support request on our issue tracker: https://innovalog.atlassian.net

Please attach your full atlassia-jira.log. Something must be preventing the plugin from loading (look for ERROR in your logs).

[David _old account_]

The plugin is not correctly installed.

What version of JIRA and of JMCF are you using?

[EL]

JIRA v6.0.4
JMCF 1.5.7

I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin several times by using the Jira add-ons manager

This error matchs

Any error in atlassian-jira.log? Please verify the timestamp to match the error with the display of a Jira issue page that should display the calculated field.

[EL]

Sorry I copied the code from my previous post.

The result is the same with "@@Formula"

For me it looks like issue.get("customfield_10104").getValue().equals("value")) does not work.

Anyway, thanks for support

[EL]

thanks for support, I followed all your instructions but without success. The issue remains, no returned data.

Are we sure about this formula?

<!-- @@Format:
if (issue.get("customfield_10104")==null)
  return null;
if (issue.get("customfield_10104").getValue().equals("A5"))
  return 1;

[David Fischer]

I haven't tried that formula. But again, it should be @@Formula, not @@Format!

[EL]

Thank you David

I check the Jira.log file and found this

com.innovalog.jmcf.jira-misc-custom-fields:calculated-number-field'. Is the plugin present and enabled?
2013-10-22 17:08:57,017 Thread-1293 ERROR

The plugin is present and enabled, by the way, another calculated number field is present on the same screen (simple addition which works great)

Thanks for support

[David Fischer]

This must have happened at a moment when you were re-installing the plugin. Check the timestamp.

If it keeps on happening, uninstall then reinstall the plugin.

Hi David

Yes I replaced the custom field number and it is a calculated Number field.

I am scanning the log file right now

this was my simpe example

<!-- @@Format: 
if (issue.get("customfield_10104")==null)
  return null;
if (issue.get("customfield_10104").getValue().equals("A5"))
  return 1;
-->

[David _old account_]

Naturally you replaced "customfield_12345" with the actual custom field id?

Also, which calculated field type are you using?

You can find out what the problem is by looking at your log file (atlassian-jira.log). Look for "com.innovalog.jmcf"
