I am new to Automation for Jira and trying to determine if it is possible to solve this problem...
I want to compute the value of a custom field in an issue based on the values of fields in one or more subtasks. In this case, the parent has a field for "Average" that should be computed from each of the sub-tasks, which contain a single value.
Is this even possible with the plug-in?
Specifically:
- Issue type A which contains the fields "Average", "STDDEV", "MIN", "MAX"
- Subtasks of A contain a field "Value"; there may be one or more subtasks, hence an unknown number of values to include
- The task is to update the custom fields in Issue A with the computed average of the values in all subtasks. So, if there are 3 subtasks, we would have the average of all three values.
Concerns:
- It does not appear possible to reference the value of a field in a subtask to use as part of a computation. If I use a branch to loop over subtasks, I cannot access the other subtask values that are needed for the computation.
I would love to see an answer to this question. I suspect there is a way to solve this but I can't figure out how yet.
The question is a bit confusing but yes this should be possible, you can work with "if / else" or "custom field" condition and do different things based on the value of the custom field
