Built-in maths functions in BPM?

This has been brought up before 

However, has there been any thought on having a 'maths specific' option in the Utility section of the Hornbill Automation node in the BPM?

I'm thinking that having a simple 'add', 'subtract' 'multiply', 'division' option, with a couple of inputs might be handy? I don't use these things often, but I do know that there are a couple of our requests where a 'total' field in a task or email would be handy.

I know that the original post (above) asks about having these in the IC, but either (or both!) option would work for me (IC and/or BPM)

I do know that this can be achieved using JS coding, but it's not encouraged (as per the linked forum entry) and it can get complicated!! 

Any thoughts?

Is there any new functionality that could allow me to perform some basic calculations in a BPM please?  I am wanting to migrate an Excel document into an IC and take the calculated 'priority rating' (not related to the Request priority) from the spreadsheet which is a series of approx 8 weighted values.  I can format the IC but I need the BPM to generate the Priority.  Thanks

No, the BPM is designed as a codeless environment, calculations are, I'm afraid, code.

With 8 values to choose from you should be able to achieve this with approximately 4 Decision nodes. (Don't forget to ensure there's a "No Match" branch on the last one to catch any inconsistencies.)
