See https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/40763/how-to-set-a-date-time-customfield-by-postfunction - that code is more verbose than necessary but should get you on the right track.

Let us suppose i have a custome field Release Date : 23/Mar/12 now i want a groovy which will automatically set this value to 23/Apr/12 when i will execute the transition.

Please help me to get out of this.

You can find this on the interwebs, it's the same in groovy as java more or less. Something like:

def cal = Calendar.getInstance()
cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1)

My psychic remote debugging skills are failing me today... so we will need more info than "not working".

[Avdhesh Chauhan]

it is throwing exception saying error in code can not find Calander and getInstance() still i have also given with package name still it is giving same error.

the code you have given in that where we are using the custom field name and id then how we can update the particuler custom field value.

[JamieA]

Can you post the entire code you are using, with correct formatting. To gist.github,com if you don't know how to do the formatting here.

[Avdhesh Chauhan]

def cal = Calendar.getInstance()
cal.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1)

where we are giving custom field name or id??

How will system identify to which custom field we want to update???

[JamieA]

That was just an example for adding a month to the current date. The other code has an example for updating a custom field. You don't need to import Calendar when using groovy.
