Is it possible to create a CustomField that is cumulative value of two other CustomFields?

I recently upgraded YouTrack and I am hoping to make a Custom Field that would be a period of total effort which would combine the values of two other Custom Fields (DEV and QA effort) Is that possible?

Hi whurley,
unfortunately it's not yet possible because of http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JT-18128

But if you are store 'Dev effort' & 'QA effort' as 'integer' values you can use the following simple workflow:
rule Cumulutive effort 
 
when DEV erffort.changed || QA effort.changed { 
  Total effort = DEV erffort + QA effort; 
}

And the restriction rule:
rule Restrict to change total effort 
 
when Total effort.changed { 
  assert DEV erffort.changed || QA effort.changed: "Cannot change 'Total effort' manually."; 
}

Although if it is an agile project you really want to use period vs integer in order to take advantage of all planning/burndown etc. right?

'Integer' estimation field values are taken into account in burndown as well as period fields values. But sure it's preferable to use 'period' field for estimation.
