The value of this read-only custom field is dynamically calculated from a custom mathematic or numeric expression.

It can be used to obtain a numeric value depending on the value of other fields in the current issue or in any other issues (linked issues, sub-tasks, epics, stories, JQL selected issues, etc).

Configuration

Configuring a Smart number field is straightforward. You have to configure a valid expression, which will "calculate" the output, and optionally define a custom display format.

Create a new Smart number custom field and name it properly.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the custom field does but this step is optional.

Math/Numeric expression

Add a valid parser expression that will "calculate" the output.

Usually, field codes will be used for this purpose.

Expression
{issue.links.length} #This example simply returns the number of linked issues. when using a JWT expression
issue?.links?.length #Will return the same result if you are using a Jira expression 

The result of the calculation must be a valid number. The filed code used in this example can be found here: Number of linked issues

Display format

Optionally choose a custom display format. This is extremely useful to enhance usability for end users.
