For Jira Cloud

getFieldById("customfield_XXXXX").setName("Desired field name");

Hi @Chris Scheepers

You can use 'Behaviors' option in ScriptRunner and add this code in the 'Initialiser' block.

Make sure you map the relevant projects and issue types accordingly to this behavior.

Code:

def custom_field = getFieldById("customfield_xxxxx");

custom_field.setLabel("Whatever name you want to call this");

Note that this custom field will show the renamed value only in 'Create' and 'Edit' screens.  It will be displayed in its original label/ value in the View screen.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Vamsi
