Using Math to Add Custom Field Values (into Another Custom Field)

[Emma Hecht]

Hi there,

I want to add the values in 3 custom fields together and fill in that sum in another custom field. Here is what I have tried so far that have gotten "Success" in the audit log (but have not actually been successful, i.e. — have not added the fields together and filled the other custom field):

(1)

(2)

The scheduled JQL is: issuetype in standardIssueTypes() AND status != "To Do" AND status != "Outline" AND status != "Initial Draft"

I did check that the custom field IDs were all accurate. And I've been manually running the rule with the "Run rule" button but have unchecked the "Only include issues that have changed since the last time this rule executed."

Thanks!

Hello @Emma Hecht 

That is not the right syntax for a math function. Refer to

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-math-expressions/

{{#=}}

The above needs to appear at the beginning of the equation.

{{/}}

And that needs to appear at the end of the equation.

Additionally, each smart value has to be enclosed in double curly braces:

{{#=}} {{issue.customfield_1}} + {{issue.customfield_2}} {{/}}

Oh got it, thanks so much! Used the link you provided and got it to work with:

{{issue.customfield_11244.plus(issue.customfield_11245).plus(issue.customfield_11246)}}
