[Insight] Calculated Attributes

[Stephen Schaff]

Say my object has two fields:

• Application
• Version

I would like to add another field:

• Release Name

and have the value for this be calculated taking the Label value from Application and the text from Version.

So if the value of the Label attribute for the Application attribute was Order Service and version was set to 2.5.6 then Release Name would automatically be set to Order Service 2.5.6. (And ideally would not be editable except by editing Application or Version.)

Is that possible?

Hi Stephan,

You can do that using post functions if you wish to add the "Release Name" in Jira Tickets as a custom field.

You can read more about post functions from the following link : Insight Post Functions

Custom fields documentation page : insight-custom-fields

Cheers!

Hi @Nader Nassif,

is it possible to have an object attribute that can be calculated from other objects?

Here is the use case : 

• You have an object type 'Laptop' having 10 Objects (Model 1) and 20 objects (Model 2)
• You have an object type 'Hardware' with the following objects 'Laptop', 'Keyboard', 'Screen' ...etc. In the object Laptop, I want to have a calculated attribute summing how many laptops do I have (here 30). 

thank you
