Hi @Rogerio 

There are a couple of ways to do this, which you may read about here: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-math-expressions/

Either use this syntax:

{{issue.myCustomField.asNumber.plus(issue.myOtherField.asNumber)}}

Or...

{{#=}}{{issue.myCustomField.asNumber}} + {{issue.myOtherField.asNumber}}{{/}}

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy ,

I used this syntax. But The result didn't calculate. 

My fields are Select List (single choice) and the result field is a Number field

So, I try put in the result field this:

{{#=}}{{issue.SelectListField1.asNumber}}+{{issue.SelectListField2.asNumber}}{{/}}

Is it the Select list fields causing the problem?

Kind regards,

Rogerio

Yes, it is.  Please use .name first to select the displayed value from the selection list.  For example:

{{issue.SelectListField1.name.asNumber}}
