The numeric parsing mode is the perfect fit if you need to perform any kind of calculation or if you want to simply set a numeric field, such as Story Points. 

This mode accepts the use of field codes which will be replaced at runtime with the corresponding field value of the issue currently being processed. 

Field codes need to either return a number or a timestamp. Alternatively they can be converted (cast) from a text to number (e.g. using toNumber()). Additional information can be found in the Data types section.
