Update a custom filed to a linked issue as another user

[Anna Protopapa]

We need to update a custom field to a linked issue. Due to access rights we have the need to run this update as another user. How can we do this?

Hello

If you are using script runner, I think you can use IssueManager and method updateIssue

Try to pass your custom user as applicationUser:

updateIssue(ApplicationUser user, MutableIssue issue, EventDispatchOption eventDispatchOption, boolean sendMail)
