typeinfo

This type of read-only custom field has a value which is dynamically calculated from a custom math/numeric expression. It can be used to obtain a numeric value depending on the value of other fields in current issue or in any other issues (linked issues, sub-tasks, epics, stories, JQL selected issues, etc).


Configuration

Math expression

Info
iconfalse

This parameter contains a valid math expression that will be calculated each time the value of the field is required.

Example 1 : Calculated Number Field "Number of Blocking Issues"

Info
iconfalse

In this step by step example we show how to create a calculated number field called "Number of Blocking Issues" that will return the number of unresolved issues, the current issue is linked to "is blocked by" issue link type.

titleMath expression for Calculated number field:
linenumberstrue
count(filterByResolution(linkedIssues("is blocked by"), ""))

To achieve this, the following functions are used:




UI Step

Finally, the configuration of the new custom field should look like this:



Example 2: Calculated Number Field "Time to Due Date"

UI Step

Parser expression

Add the following expression:

Code Block
languagebash
titleMath expression for Calculated number field:
linenumberstrue
{00012} != null ? max({00012} - {00057}, 0) : null 


Expand
titlemore info...


UI Text Box
typeinfo

{00012}  is code for Due date, and {00057} is code for Current date and time.

To achieve this, the following functions are used:

  • Conditional operator ?:
  • max() is used to avoid returning a negative duration when the Due date has passed.




UI Step

Display format

UI Steps


UI Step

Choose Duration for Content type


UI Step

Choose Short for Duration display format

Expand
titlemore info...


UI Text Box
typeinfo

We select duration as display format, since the numeric value being calculated, a number of milliseconds, represents a time duration. This way the value is represented like Time to Due Date: 2d 9h 43m instead of a single number.





UI Step

Check the parameter Uninitialized when calculated value is zero

Expand

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Since we don't want the field to be shown once Due Date has been reached.





UI Step

Finally, the configuration of the new custom field should look like this:



Example 3: Field to show time since issue creation resolution

Info
iconfalse

In this example we configure a calculated number field for showing the time elapsed since issue creation to issue resolution. For issues which are still not resolved, the field will be uninitialized, thus it won't be shown in the view screen.
