How do you set a field to change the value depending on another field?

[Yousaf]

Hello together,

I would like to set a field value that would change in another field depending on what was set in the first one..

Here´s an example:

Field 1 - Date of return: 10.04.2018

Field 2 - Date of debit: 24.04.2018

As you can see the value of field 2 was set automatically by adding 14 days to the value of field 1.

Is this possible? If yes, please explain how.

Thanks and best regards

Hello,

You could also use the Power Scripts add-on:

Have a look at this example:

You'll need to find a scripting or automation App that can support calculating one field from others.  I'd use Scriptrunner of course (as I work for the vendor, I've got expert scripters on tap), but have a look at the automation and other scripting Apps too.

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-,

well I have JWT and JMWE installed here. I tried functions like "Set a field as a function of other fields" (JWT) but that did not work out.

But I could not really figure out what to set in the rules or the conditional execution.

I'm not sure how to do it with either of those, I rarely use them.  I suspect it should be possible, but I've not tried.

Hi @Yousaf,

Yes, it's possible with the following plug-in:

Jira Misc Custom Fields

There's a calculated date field and you'll be able to calculate date depending on another one.

It takes some time to get yourself familiar with the code used to calculate a new date, but there's nothing outstanding.

Should you encounter any difficulties calculating a new value, please, don't hesitate to come back here.

As @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- has fairly said, this is, of course, not the only one App which can help you. There're a number of them.
