How to get the current issue after the issue is create?

Question

Hi, I am using groovy script in post function to update the value of custom field after the issue creation transition. But I don't know how to get the created issue.

I know how to get the issue by its ID but I have to create script for every Issue created and I dont know how to do that.

There is an internal variable called issue. That is why you can just write

issue.getKey()

it will return the key of the created issue.
