Hi,

You do it like so:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import java.sql.Timestamp

ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
Timestamp currentDate = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())
issue.setDueDate(currentDate)
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currentUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Hi Ivan, 

Thanks for the reply, what I'm trying is when I create an issue I have the two fields due date(system field) and priority(select list drop-down), I need to auto-populate the due date field to today's date when I select any of the select list in the priority field.

Thanks,

Hemanth.
