It took me quite a bit to get it running with Jira version 7.13.8.

Hope this helps someone

Here is the code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.*
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.*
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.*

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_29100")
addOptionToCustomField(cField, "the new option")

private OptionsManager getOptionsManager() {
OptionsManager optionsManager = ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(OptionsManager.class);
return optionsManager;
}

public Option addOptionToCustomField(CustomField customField, String value) {
Option newOption = null;

if (customField != null) {
final List<FieldConfigScheme> schemes = customField.getConfigurationSchemes();
if (schemes != null && !schemes.isEmpty()) {
FieldConfigScheme sc = schemes.get(0);
Map configs = sc.getConfigsByConfig();
if (configs != null && !configs.isEmpty()) {
FieldConfig config = (FieldConfig) configs.keySet()
.iterator().next();

OptionsManager optionsManager = getOptionsManager();
Options l = optionsManager.getOptions(config);
Option opt;

newOption = optionsManager.createOption(config, null,
new Long(0), value);
}
}
}

return newOption;
}
