How to customize the story point field ?

[danielsandy]

We have a custom filed STORY POINTS (in contrast to standard story points). Our filed only allows for particular numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ....). Only the standard field is used in evaluations (e.g. burndowns charts). We need our values to be respected there.

Hello,

I am not sure what you mean by respected. Do you mean that you want the values of your custom field to be copied to the Story Points Field?

If so then you would need an add-on. For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on:

You could write a listener for the Update Issue event with a code like this:

#{Story Points} = #{your custom field name}

This listener would update the Story Points field with the Custom field value every time an issue is updated.

You can find more info about listeners here:

Hi @Alexey Matveev,

Thanks for your answer. Could you please tell me it will affect all the project in JIRA ??. Because i want to change only one project.

If you need it for one project you could write a script like this:

if (project == "your project key") {
 #{Story Points} = #{your custom field name}
}
