Calculated Number Field Not availble in custom field

Calculated Number Field is not available in custom fields in Jira Cloud. I want to create a new Calculated Number Field

Hello @Sandip Bhosale

Jira Cloud/DC does not have native support for calculated number fields in its custom fields. However, there are alternative approaches you can consider:

1. Third-party Apps: You can install 3rd party apps to get these functionalities in jira, some apps provides these features, please find the links here:

   https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221055/calculated-and-other-custom-fields-jbcf-for-jira-dc-cloud?tab=overview&hosting=cloud
   
   

2. Automations: You can use Jira's automation feature to mimic the behavior of a calculated field. For example, you can create a custom text field to store the result of your calculation and then set up an automation rule that triggers whenever certain field values change. The automation rule can calculate the desired value based on other field values and update the custom text field accordingly.
   
   

3. Scripted Fields (ScriptRunner): ScriptRunner by Adaptavist is a popular plugin that allows you to create scripted fields using Groovy scripts. While it doesn't directly provide a calculated number field, you can use scripted fields to achieve similar functionality by writing scripts that calculate values based on other fields.

Remember to consider the specific requirements of your use case and evaluate the available options to choose the best approach for your needs.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Sandip Bhosale ,

Can you elaborate a bit on your use case? A default auto calculating field does not exist as a field type in Jira.

A workaround could be to create an Automation rule which would calculate a value and set it in a regular text or number field.
