Use case

Often you do not only use Jira's basic set of features but extend your issues with custom fields like our calculated fields.

They work perfectly to aggregate data but once in a while you might want to do a reindex to get all up-to-date values from all issues.

In this use case we will perform an reindex on the current issue as soon as a custom field is updated.




 Field changed event


Add a Trigger → Field changed event



Field

Choose any custom field you want to listen to for changes


Changed to

Choose Any value





 Reindex issue action

No further configuration needed.
