  • Replace <Cost custom field ID> with the ID of the custom field e.g. customfield_10001. This can be found using the GET /field Jira API.

  • |0 - will default the value to 0.

• + Here we are adding the cost of the issue to the existing budget used.

• {{webResponse.body.fields.<Budget customer field ID>.asNumber|0}} - The Budget Used customer field value.

  • Replace <Budget customer field ID> with the ID of the custom field e.g. cc659e96-cb91-4e81-a8fa-cdf222c2dcef. This can be found using the GET /field Crumbs API.

  • |0 - will default the value to 0.

• {{/}} - The end of the maths expression.
