Update numeric custom field value via automation rule

Question

I have a custom field of the type 'numeric'. I want to update this field within an automation rule using a scriptrunner script. I tried the following code, but it did not work...

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def customfield = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_56003")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(customfield, "new value")

Any suggestions?

I had a hard time finding out a Double is needed :-)

I think the code itself just does not work. Also text fields won't get updated using this code...

Hi @Jelmer Tiemessen , if your CF is of Numeric type, you need to use value of java.lang.Double type (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Double.html)
