Calculate the sum of all values of a Custom Field in linked issues

https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/calculate-the-sum-of-all-values-of-a-custom-field-in-linked-issues

Is anyone else getting an error when trying to use this code? I found it in the library 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueType = "Service Request with Approvals" // only display the sum on this issue type
def linkedIssueType = "Sub-task" // calculates for all linked issues of this type
def customField = "SLA NEW DUE DATE" // the custom field that you want to sum up

if (issue.getIssueType().name == issueType) {
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def sum = 0
issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each {issueLink ->
def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
if (linkedIssue.getIssueType().name == linkedIssueType) {
def technicalPointsField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName(customField)[0]
sum += linkedIssue.getCustomFieldValue(technicalPointsField)?:0
}
}
return sum
}

Hello Jacob.
If you want to try, there some just done scripts in Groovy for this your requirement specifically to work with custom fields in tasks (like time spent or whathever) and sub-tasks.

You can look at: https://github.com/GTessarini/JiraAutomations

I hope help you!

Hello @Jacob francois

This is static type checking error, you can ignore it. It appears because getCustomFieldValue can return various types of result like ApplicationUser, Integer, Options etc. and compiler doesn't know which one, so error appears.

Hi Mark,

I am also facing same issue, even if I ignore static type checking error, its not working.

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks,
