How do I create a rule to delete a certain number of characters in the summary field.

[Jamie Edmondson]

I have a number of issues being created in Jira by another system. When the issues are created, it has the name of the system followed by a number and then proceeds with the description. I want to be able to remove these first few characters and not the whole summary. 

For example:

RemoveMe #1234546 User is having trouble logging into the application.

In this example, I want to remove "RemoveME #123456". That's it.

Hello,

You can use userManager to get application user like this:

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def user = userManager.getUserByName("username")

Check out the documentation of usermanager here:
