How to write a number-customfield in a transition (script-runner)

[Roman Joss]

Hi there

I would like to calculate some number-fields in a post function with a custom script post-function (inline script) from script-runner. 

As i heard from other companies that scripted fields slow down the performance, i would like to update the fields with a transition and calculate the summary in the postfunction.

At the end i have to summarize about 10 number-fields. No i try to catch the value from one field an put it in the targetfield.  I get no error, but the targetfield is not updated.

I have search quite a lot, but there must be something with the setCustomFieldValue. 

Can anyone help me to find and solve the problem or does anyone have a suggestion how i could solve this task in a better way?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi @Tarun Sapra 

Thanks for your Info and for your links. I'm going to check this.

Hello @Roman Joss 

Don't use setCustomField

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/MutableIssue.html#setCustomFieldValue-com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField-java.lang.Object-

Sets a custom field value on this Issue Object, but does not write it to the database. This is highly misleading. 

Instead use "updateValue" method on custom field object.

Hello @Tarun Sapra 

I've change to the other function. But unfortunatly, i get no content in the field.
Now my code looks like following. Every log-statement is logged out with the correct data. Is there a further way to find out why?

Thanks again for your help.
