Count of times an event happens

[Jaqueline da Silva Nicolau]

Hi community!

I have this automation configured with JMWE when I create a bug. My goal is to update the field "Número de bugs" with the amount of bugs an issue had. But using this value {{ issue.fields.customfield + 1 }}, it only adds once, It doesn't sum after the first bug, so in the field, always remains 1. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Jaqueline da Silva Nicolau 

since this post function is created on the Create transition, it will run whenever an issue is created, and add 1 to its "Número de bugs" custom field. But since the issue is new, it will always start with 0 (in fact, not even 0 but no value at all).

Can you describe what you're trying to achieve?

the information on top is hided, but the field "Numero de Bugs" is a field from the parent of the bug, and the automation is to set this field when (trigger) a bug is created

I see. In that case, you need to read the field of the parent issue, which is the target issue, and add 1. So the value should be:

{{targetIssue.fields.customfield_15670 + 1}}

That makes sense! Thank you

Heya @Jaqueline da Silva Nicolau ,

Have you tried to create a filter for specific project and an issue type of bug. Then to create a dashboard which will use that filter? Seems like a simpler option, if of course that would suit you

Cheers,

Nikola

Yes, I already have that kind of information, but in addition to that, I need to know how many bugs in total were created per developer, since in the task I have a field to save the developer name, I added a field to count the number of subtasks (bugs only) so I can use both information to generate a Two Dimensional Filter Statistic with the developer and number of bugs fields. But the number of bugs field is not working (the automation).
