I'm working on creating two custom fields on an issue custom form where I want to pull in the Queue Topic Name and the Queue Topic Group Name. I feel like I'm close but WF won't accept. Here's what I have:
sorry for the misunderstanding, Surya -- your calculated field syntax is otherwise correct (and M's is old and outdated). M would want to use your syntax and add the IF/ISBLANK to it in order to cover all the based: i.e. a working calculation that doesn't overwrite itself.
The queue topic and the topic group do not change after the request is submitted, you don't need the IF and ISBLANK for either of them. The following should work:
Queue Topic Name: {queueTopic}.{name}
Queue Topic Group Name: {queueTopic}.{parentTopicGroup}.{name}
I would tend to disagree. If I don't miss my guess, a queue topic and topic group name can change when they get accidentally or purposefully deleted. Coding in an isblank would protect against this risk.
Don't think I have seen that happen when an issue is deleted but if maybe the queue topic/group is removed then it might make sense.
@MMcAnelly if you do want to take that into account, you might have to create the respective fields first with no calculation and then add the calculation you have. I have noticed in the past that it does not reference itself in the calculation unless the field is already created.
