To use a custom field, type its name, for example Budget or Quantity. If your field’s name contains spaces or special characters, you must surround it with double quotes, for example “Story Points”. Quotes are optional for values without spaces or special characters, e. g. "Quantity".

Operators

Operators combine two values. The following operators are supported:

Operator

Description

Example

+

Addition

12 + Quantity

-

Subtraction

15 - Rating

*

Multiplication

Result * Factor

/

Division

"Write off percentage" / 100

^

Potentiation: Raises the first value to the power of the second, e. g. 28

2 ^ 8

%

Percentage: As on a calculator, you can add or subtract a percentage to/from a value.

Price - 10%

Parentheses

Parentheses can be used to group operations to override operator precedence. 2 * 3 + 3 equals 9, but 2 * (3 + 3) equals 12.

Info

Jira automatically rounds values to three decimal places. Be careful when you need exact results.

Mathematical Function

Description

Example

round(number, decimals)

Rounds the passed value to the specified number of significant decimal digits.

  • round(15.386, 2) = 15.39

  • round(15.5, 0) = 16

floor(number)

Rounds the passed value to the nearest lower integer.

  • floor(16.34) = 16

ceiling(number)

Rounds the passed value to the nearest higher integer.

  • ceiling(16.34) = 17

abs(number)

Gives the absolute value, i. e. the positive value.

  • abs(-15) = 15

  • abs(15) = 15

signum(number)

Normalises negative values to -1, zero to 0, and positive values to 1.

  • signum(-255) = -1

  • signum(0) = 0

  • signum(135) = 1

mod(dividend, divisor)

Calculates the remainder of the dividend when divided by the divisor.

  • mod(13, 2) = 1

Aggregating Function

Description

Example

sum(number…)

Sum of the passed values

  • sum(1, 4, 5) = 10

avg(number…)

Average of the passed values

  • avg(3, 5, 7) = 5

min(number…)

Smallest of the passed values

  • min(-12, 0, 346) = -12

max(number…)

Largest of the passed values

  • max(-135, 0, 1) = 1

Relation Function

Description

Example

subtasks(field)

Retrieves the values of the passed field from all subtasks.

Must be aggregated before using outside of a function.

  • avg(subtasks("Story Points"))

parent(field)

Retrieves the values of the passed field from the parent of a subtask.

  • parent("Quantity")

issuesInEpic(field)

Retrieves the values of the passed field from all issues in an epic.

Must be aggregated before using outside of a function.

  • min(issuesInEpic("Budget"))

epic(field)

Retrieves the values of the passed field from the epic of an issue.

  • epic("Price")

linkedIssues(linkName, field)

Retrieves the values of the passed field from all linked issues.

Must be aggregated before using outside of a function.

Note

The link type must be given in single quotes: ‘causes’

  • max(linkedIssues('causes', "Percentage"))

Advanced

More complex use cases
