ScriptRunner Scripted Fields (Run As User)

[Bojan Zekanovic]

Hello, 

I got my ScriptRunner Scripted field working, but I don't see values change in my issue history. Do I need to run the script field as a specific user or is there anything else I can do for field value change to show up in history?

Thanks,

Scripted fields are not fields in the usual sense of "something that holds and displays a data item".  Because they are calculated, they're not stored on the issue in the database. 

So when their value is recalculated, there is nothing written to the issue, and hence no history to write.  (Technically, this is not strictly true, but the easiest way to model this is to think of the value being stored only in the index, and not on the issue)
