Copy custom field from one ticket to new ticket in another JIRA instance.

[Aravindi Amarasinghe]

Hi All, 

We have this function in JIRA service desk it communicate other JIRA instance and create ticket in that JIRA during the transition. 

The following code is a part of the script and it successfully create tickets in other JIRA as they are coping only system fields. 

In a new issue type there is a mandatory custom field called "Sub Priority" that should be filled to create the ticket. I tried several ways but none of them help me to copy the custom field to the new ticket. 

Can someone help me to insert custom field in this script? 

Thank you for your help.

How are you trying to send the custom field?

You should do it by id (id of field in the other instance)
