Post function - Update Issue Custom Field not setting value

Question

Hi,

I have recently upgraded to the latest version of script runner 3.1.3, previously 3.0.4. on JIRA v6.3.1#6329-sha1:7df76f1 (I'm guessing that's a bug in its self).

We use a the post function on the creation of a issue to - Update issue custom field - and set a custom field('Resolver Group') to 'Change Management'. this seem to have stopped working since we upgraded. meaning the ticket cannot be created unless we make the field visible on the screen, which we do not want to-do.

Any idea as to why this may have happened?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Dan

yes, you could do the same using ScriptRunner.
something like this could do the job if the custom field type is Text:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

MutableIssue issue = issue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
CustomField resolverGroup = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Resolver Group")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(resolverGroup, 'Change Management')

No worries, sorry about that. 
Do you reckon I would get the same results from using a script post function?

I'm afraid I cannot help here. That "Update Issue Custom Field Function" does not belong to ScriptRunner.
I'll remove the SR label. Hope you don't mind
