Reindex issue on custom field update | Decadis App Help Center

Use case

Often you do not only use Jira's basic set of features but extend your issues with custom fields like our calculated fields.

They work perfectly to aggregate data but once in a while you might want to do a reindex to get all up-to-date values from all issues.

In this use case we will perform an reindex on the current issue as soon as a custom field is updated.

⚒️ Configuration

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.

Add a Trigger → Field changed event

Field

Choose any custom field you want to listen to for changes

Changed to

Choose Any value

Reindex issue action

Add Action → Reindex issue

No further configuration needed.
