why aren't all jira fields viewable in issues statistics gadget

[Scott McDonald]

According to the documentation (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/some-fields-are-not-showing-in-any-dropdown-menus-of-dashboard-gadgets-922648656.html), if the search template on a custom field is something other than none, it should appear in the list of available statistic types....however, it's not.  The field is a calculated number field so could that be the reason why it's not appearing?

How are you doing the "calculated number field"?  What add-on is in use?

[Scott McDonald]

I am using the out of the box Calculated Number Field.

Search Template: Number Range Searcher

Code:

Sum of Risk Indicator and Impact of Failure
Risk Indicator = 14283
Impact of Failure = 14284

<!-- @@Formula:
Object cf1 = issue.get("customfield_14283");
Object cf2 = issue.get("customfield_14284");
int total = (cf1 != null ? Integer.parseInt(cf1.toString()) : 0 )+
(cf2 != null ? Integer.parseInt(cf2.toString()) : 0 );

float result = total;
return result;
-->

Ah, I missed the number thing first time round.  Some gadgets only work with specific types of field - essentially ones that hold lists.  Those gadgets won't pick up numbers, dates or text.

[Scott McDonald]

Thank you Nic!  Do you know any of gadgets that will pick up numbers?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

A lot of the Software ones will, indirectly, as they'll read the board for the estimation and use the number field the board is using.

[Scott McDonald]

Which ones would you recommend?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It depends on the report you're looking for.

[Scott McDonald]

One that resembles issues statistics but I can add additional custom fields such as calculated types.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I'm not aware of any.
