Expr Language - Variables

Variables are user-defined names, which represent attributes, such as:

• 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 attributes.For example, the "remaining_estimate" variable above will automatically be mapped to the Remaining Estimate field. See Mapping Variables for more information.
