So, use UserUtil or UserManager to get the ApplicationUser using reporter's name or key. Using UserUtil for example, replace the updateValue with

cfQAContact.updateValue(null, issue, new    ModifiedValue(cfQAContact, ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByName(issue.getReporter().getName())),changeHolder)

or in your original script 

issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfQAContact, ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByName(issue.getReporter().getName()));

PS. In your original script you don't need to use the .store() if the post function is before the "Update change history..." step.

I suspect the issue.reporter return to you a user of type OfBizUser. But you want the Application User. You should use userManager to get the Application User, but before I continue could you tell me you JIRA version ?

Then make sure that you call this function before the "Update change history..." step. If that is not successful, try the script below

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cfQAContact = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "QA Contact"}
def qacontact = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfQAContact)
 
//issue.reporter should not be null
if(!qacontact && issue.reporter) {
	def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()
	cfQAContact.updateValue(null, issue, new 	ModifiedValue(cfQAContact, issue.reporter),changeHolder)
}

Please let me know if this works for you.

Hi Basudev,

Is this in a post function ?
