Variables are user-defined names, which can represent:

  • Jira issue fields

  • Calculated attributes like Progress

  • Structure-specific attributes like Item type

  • Attributes provided by other Jira apps

  • Another formula

  • Values from another Structure column

Naming Variables

Variables can contain letters (English only), numbers or underscore ("_") characters. Variables cannot contain spaces, and the first character must be a letter or an underscore.

Examples:

  • priority

  • sprintName

  • remaining_estimate

  • abc11

As you write your formula, Structure attempts to map your variables to well-known sources.For example, the "remaining_estimate" variable above will automatically be mapped to the Remaining Estimate field. See Mapping Variables for more information.

Variable names are case-insensitive. Priority, priority and pRiOrItY will all refer to the same variable.
