set value of custom field in scriptrunner scheduled job

Question

I'm using Jira server ver 8.13.3

I have a text based custom field called "Deliverables" and I'm trying to create a Custom scheduled job to create an issuetype story every day with the "Deliverables" field set to "insert custom text".

Deliverables = customfield_13518

I've tried the following but it never actually injects the text into the custom field

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = Component.Accessor.customFieldManager()
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()

issueInputParameters.with {
projectId = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("PROJ").id
summary = "reoccurring task"
issueTypeId = "21"
reporterId = user.name
description = "Daily Task Checklist"
customfield_13518 = "Submit Form 1362"
}

def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(user, issueInputParameters)
assert !validationResult.errorCollection.hasAnyErrors()

def issueResult = issueService.create(user, validationResult)
log.info "Issue created: ${issueResult.issue}"

Hi @David Howe  :- Working Code for me :-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def requestTypeValue = "Submit Form 1362" //replace it with the one you want - see note below

def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
def issueType = constantsManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().find {it.name.equalsIgnoreCase("New Project Request")}
def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()
def customFiledmanager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cf = customFiledmanager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("CA Ticket#")

issueInputParameters.with {
projectId = projectManager.getProjectObjByKey("CJS").id
summary = "Issue created from script"
issueTypeId = issueType.getId()
reporterId = "vikrant-yadav2"
assigneeId = "vikrant-yadav2"
}

issueInputParameters.addCustomFieldValue(cf.idAsLong, requestTypeValue)
def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(user, issueInputParameters)
assert !validationResult.errorCollection.hasAnyErrors()

def issueResult = issueService.create(user, validationResult)

assert !issueResult.errorCollection.hasAnyErrors()
return "Issue created: ${issueResult.issue}"
