Unable to set the custom field whille creating subtask using Script post function

[Sadaf Jabin]

I am trying to automate the sub-task creation based on a number of checkbox fields(project requirement and impacted marketplaces). But every time I am landing on the same issue as below:

The following log information was produced by this execution. Use statements like:log.info("...") to record logging information.

Please note that i am able to create the subtask when the subtask customfields are not being updated.Find my script below for your reference:

Any help will be highly appreciated.Looking forward for your responses.
