Using Script Runner to Update Custom Date Field

[Charles Chien]

Is there a way to determine whether a custom field was updated during an edit (not workflow transition)? Basically, I want to update a scripted field to the current date if customfield_##### was updated during the edit. Thanks.

Hello,

you could write a simple script that manage ISSUE_UPDATED event. During the issue update this field could be set to the current date.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
