getCustomFieldValue returning wrappers for unknown reason

[Connor Jakes]

When I call getCustomFieldValue on a nFeed custom field, and try to append the value to issue.setSummary, I get

<content> <value> 81949</value> </content> 

instead of just the value 81949.

I noticed in the rest json the value is wrapped in square brackets, but I don't know what that means, or why.

nFeed values are wrapped with those Xml elements for standard fields because of JSD support. If you are not using this field in a Jira SD, you can try using the nFeed (deprecated) field.

Here is the link for deprecated field:
