I have a JIRA issue that classifies up to 5 items according to their origin type. (And we have 40 different origin types possible!)
As we do not have arrays as JIRA custom fields, I created 5 custom fields of type Select List (Single) each of these custom fields with all the 40 selectable origins.
Let’s name them Origin1, Origin2, Origin3, Origin4, and Origin5.
The very first option of the Select List is “Make a choice” and starting on the second option, I have the names of all the 40 possible origins.
So, If some of these custom fields just has the option “Make a choice”, I know that it is NOT used. Easy like that.
Well, considering all the JIRA issues that use such fields, I need to count for each origin type (it doesn’t matter if the origin type was selected on Origin1, Origin2, Origin3, Origin4 or Origin5 custom field) how many they are. See this example (very simplified):
Issue--------- Field ‘Origin 1’--------- Field ‘Origin 2’---------------Field ‘Origin 3’
JIR-1----------ESP--------------------------MAC-----------------------------Make a choice
JIR-5----------DIF---------------------------MAC-----------------------------ESP
JIR-8----------MAC------------------------GRD-------------------------------Make a choice
JIR-12--------ESP-------------------------GRD-------------------------------DIF
I need tho show a graphic with such totals:
Origin ESP ------------------------------ 3 occurences
Origin MAC ----------------------------- 3 occurences
Origin DIF -------------------------------- 2 occurences
Origin GRD ------------------------------ 2 occurences
‘Make a choice’ ----------------------- Must not be counted
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.
