how to send email to users in custom-user-field

Question

Product details:

* Jira v7.7.1
* Test Management for Jira (Adaptavist) v4.6.2

Requirement:

Within the add-on "Test Management for Jira (Adaptavist) v4.6.2" I have a custom field User". This is list of users having access to "Test Management for Jira (Adaptavist) v4.6.2". These is not Jira field but custom add-on fields. I want to send a email to username as set in field "User"

For e.g.

if I set abc as user in the "User" field, a email should go to abc mentioning that he is mentioned in a "Test case'. The email should also contain link to this "Test Case".

How to do this?

I am not a programmer, but ready to learn whatever the solution asks for.

* go to Administration/Custom Fields
* click on the "Configure" link for the custom field you're interested in
* in the URL of the Configure Custom Field page, note the number after "customFieldId=" and append it to "customfield_" to build the custom field ID

I believe you can do this with Script-Runner add-on (under built-in scripts) (Not tested)

* Edit your existing workflow
* Choose Add PostFunction
* Choose Script Post Function
* Choose Send a custom email
* Add "User" in the note field
* Find out the customfield_id of your User field (this link shows you how to find your customfield id)
* Put this value into the "To issue fields" textbox
* Choose the Add button and publish the new workflow.
