Futures used to implement the example

• Project Properties
• Read a project property
• Mathematical and date-time expression calculator
• Update issue fields
• Set or create project property

Example: Setting a custom field with project and property and custom fields

In this example a custom code shall be created by using a project property and different custom fields. This should be happen when transitioning the issue to a new status.

The code that will be created is a combination of a specific number (sequence number), the fiscal year (custom field) and abbreviation of a department and will look like this:

003/2018-2019/DEV

BITTE DIE MAKROS UM NAME DER POST FUNCTION (LINKES MAKRO) UND WEITERE LABELS (RECHTES MAKRO) ERGÄNZEN UND HIER DIE SECTION LÖSCHEN!

Things that will be needed for this are:

• Project property "sequenceNumber"
• Custom Text Field "Department"
• Custom Text Field "Fiscal Year"
• Custom Text Field "Approval Code"

Setting the project property

Setting a project property can be done by going to the project settings → Details.

Text to be parsed is: {sequenceNumber=0}

Creating multiple post functions

First post function is Read a project property

Image Added

Text to be parsed is: sequenceNumber

Second post function is Mathematical and date-time expression calculator

Image Added

Text to be parsed is: {00058} + 1

Note that:

• {00058} is field code for Ephermeral Number 1

The third post function is Set a field as a function of other fields

This post function ensures that the sequence number is always a 3 digit number. So for example "3" get's "003" and "10" get's "010".

Image Added

Text to be parsed is:

[length(%{00058}) = 1]00%{00058}
[length(%{00058}) = 2]0%{00058}
[true]%{00058}

Note that:

• %{00058} is field code for Ephemeral number 1

The next post function is Update issue fields

Image Added

Text to be parsed (in advanced mode) is: %{00061} + "/" + %{10420} + "/" + toUpperCase(substring(%{10421}, 0, 3))

Note that:

• %{00061} is field code for Ephermeral string 1

• %{10420} is field code for custom text field "Fiscal Year" (your code might be different)
• %{10421} is field code for custom text field "Department" (your code might be different)

The last post function is Set or create project property

Once configured, the transition will look like this:

Things to regard

When executing this transition custom fields "Fiscal Year" and "Department" must not be empty! For checking this a transition validation could be added.

For example, both fields can be filled when creating the issue or by adding a screen to the transition.HIER DIE SEITE DANN BITTE AUCH UM JEWEILIGE LÄBELS ERWEITEN!
