import static java.lang.Math.*

import java.sql.Timestamp

def Begin_Date = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject('custmofield_10200')

issue.setCustomFieldValue(Begin_Date, new Timestamp(new Date().time))

Hello @Владислав Яшин 

You are using setCustomFieldValue method on issue object, this is something which will not work.
