How do i get a value from a custom field in SIL

[Willyam Mudingayi Malumba]

Here my code i'm trying to acces a customfield value but i'm having an error

string[] parentIssuekeys = linkedIssues(issuekey,"Link",1);

string highestSeverity = "None";

for(string parentIssuekey in parentIssuekeys) {

string parentSeverity = %parentIssuekey%.#{Severity};

}

%issuekey%.#{Severity} = key.#{Severity};

Hi @Willyam Mudingayi Malumba 

Seems there are several syntax and logical issues that need to be addressed.

Your code shows a few key problems.

Firstly, SIL requires a specific format (%issuekey%.customfield_xxxx) to access custom fields, and #{Severity} is not a valid reference unless it's been defined as a variable or alias.

Moreover, the syntax used to assign the custom field value is incorrect. Likewise, the initialization of the highestSeverity variable is not utilized, and calculating the highest severity across linked issues requires additional logical operations.

A corrected version of your code is necessary to resolve these issues.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
