Set customfield to specific value depending on another customfield

[Ulrich Schreck]

Hi,

once me again. during a workflow validation I need to set a customfield to a specific value when a another custom field b is not empty.

How can I accomplish that with a groovyscript?

Thanks

Helo Ulrich,

Apparently you can achieve that with the script runner plugin. I found the following answer, where people are discussing how to do that:

Please take a look and let me know if it helps you out.

Cheers.
