How to get a string value from a drop down custom field (Groovy Scripted Field)

[Puján Z]

Hi,

How can I read the value of a drop-down custom field in Groovy on Jira Cloud? For now I'm using split token which is quite retarded:

def myDropDownList = issue.fields[myDropDownListCfId] as String
String[] tokens = myDropDownList.split("[,: ]");
String myDropDownListOptionValue = tokens[5];

I'm sure there is a better way! ;)
