Substracting field values not working.

[Jouni Riimala]

I have Story point estimate field and Story Points fields and result field named Diff to which I would like to have subtraction from Story point estimate and Story points.

In my jira automation rule smart value section I'm using 

{{issue.Story point estimate.minus(issue.Story Points)}}

nor by adding {{#=}} front of it.

But it doesn't seem to work, what I'm doing wrong ?

Hi @Jouni Riimala 

I'm getting good results with the exact same code:

What are the results you are getting? Try adding a log action to log the values of the two fields, like I did in the above rule. Perhaps the Diff field is not in the edit screen. :/

I didn't get any value due to my invalid process (now fixed). Problem was that when I did branching and thought that I need to get results to parent issue that was my major mistake. Did a while ago summing of sub tasks to stories, which somehow impacted to my thinking. 

Thanks from your example and advice to use also
logging.

Logging helps you understand what actions to take!

I'm glad you sorted this thing out :)
