Hello @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ,

Thanks for your quick response.

The code given is not compatible with my version of Jira, we are using Jira version 7.12.3

To update a field, see https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/change-the-value-of-a-custom-field-in-a-post-function  But remember that "status" is not a field, it is a display of the position of an issue in the process.

But, "Epic Status" is usually a field pulled down from the associated Epic, so updating that means updating the Epic, which would affect all the stories the Epic is related to.
