How do I count issues that have the same Summary

Hi, apologies but I’m new to eazyBI and this may be obvious, bit I’m looking for a way to count the number of issues created with the same Summary text. We have a monitoring system that automatically creates the issues and always uses the same Summary test when the same monitoring check is alerted. I plan to use this measure to identify the top 10 alerts per month.

Hello daviesgj,
Welcome to the eazyBI community!

To count issues by summary text, you need to import issue summary text as a dimension. In the Jira import options Custom fields tab, at the very end, there is a link to “Add new calculated field”.

You can add a new field with the data type “string”, select it to be used as dimension and use a custom JavaScript code:
return issue.fields.summary;

When saved, it will become available for import. Select to import this field as a dimension, run the import, and you will be able to use it as any other dimension in your report.

Let me know if that works for you or if you have more questions.

Best,
Ilze
