How do I set custom fields using the IssueInputParameters method for select lists and dates?

[Tom Brown]

I have a groovy script that performs the following in a workflow post function:

• Creates a linked issue for each Insight Object value in a custom field

The script works however I now want to copy the value of two custom fields into the linked issues on create. One is a Select List (Single Choice) and the other is a Date Picker. I am trying to use the addCustomFieldValue method but it seems to be configured for a String. Any help would be much appreciated.

Code (I have marked up the lines causing the problem with /* comments):

}

def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)
assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection

def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)
assert result.valid : result.errorCollection

// the name of the issue link
final String issueLinkName = "Relates"

// the sequence of the link

def childTask = result.issue
ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.id, childTask.id, linkType.id, sequence, loggedInUser)


}
mylog.info("Field Value= "+ CusValueA)

For anyone interested in this, as a temporary fix I have used two scriptrunner post functions (copy field) positioned after the above custom script post function to reach the same end. Although I would find it preferable for all the actions associated with the create issue to be contained in the script :)
