Scripted field to sum custom field on the sub-tasks of type select list (single select)

[Nidhi Gupta]

Hello All, I used the code mentioned in the accepted answers to sum up the values from a custom field on the sub-tasks of type select list (single select). The aggregate will show up on the parent issue under a scripted field but I am getting following errors. Would appreciate any help to resolve this.

The error is exactly what it says it is - you are defining a variable with the same name as an existing variable (or class)

Just use a different name for the variable, for example

CustomField theCustomField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("# of Scrum Teams");

Hi @Nidhi Gupta ,

try to replace that line with :

CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("# of Scrum Teams");

Please let me know if it works,

Fabio
