+1 to a number field on transition with Automation for Jira

[Jamie Spatz]

We have a custom numerical field called "# of re-opens" that we're attempting to use to track the number of times a bug has been re-opened. I would like to add 1 to the current value of that number field on the re-open transition using the Automation for Jira add-on. Is that possible?

Hey Jamie -

Automation for Jira definitely has math functions you can use if that is the way you want to handle the incrementation.

i.e. {{issue.# of re-opens}} + 1  

You can check out options in the doco at:  https://docs.automationforjira.com/working-with-issue-data/math-functions.html#where-to-use

Hope that helps!
