Hi there,

You may use the script below;

Please do not forget to change the cf ID and username for the operation before use it.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.core.util.DateUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def issue = underlyingIssue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

MutableIssue mTarget = (MutableIssue) issue

JiraAuthenticationContext authContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
authContext.setLoggedInUser(ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName("admin")) //type username for change operation
ApplicationUser automationUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def dateFieldCF = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11998") //type cf id of the date field
def dateFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateFieldCF).toString()
def newDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy").format(dateFieldValue).plus(10)

mTarget.setCustomFieldValue(dateFieldCF, newDate)
issueManager.updateIssue(automationUser, mTarget, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

Best Regards,
Burak
