Hello, You mean with groovy script using the Jira API, right? If that so, you can do it like this: com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("TEST-5")

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def customfield = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Testing")

return issue.getCustomFieldValue(customfield)import Regards, Elifcan
