Unable to set custom field value using custom script runner

[Ankur Mehrotra]

Prerequisites : Set following script in script runner to update a custom field - timetracking_originalestimate using customfield_10204 and customfield_10205 average

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueManager();
CustomFieldManager cfManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();
MutableIssue issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.id);
CustomField cforig = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("timetracking_originalestimate");
CustomField cfabp = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("customfield_10204");
CustomField cfhp = cfManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("customfield_10205");

def abpEstimateValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfabp);
def hpEstimateValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfhp);
def orignalEstimateValue=issue.getCustomFieldValue(cforig);
def orignalEstimateValueModified=(Integer.parseInt(abpEstimateValue)+Integer.parseInt(hpEstimateValue))/2

IssueChangeHolder changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();
cforig.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(orignalEstimateValue, orignalEstimateValueModified),changeHolder);

Step1 : Create issue in Jira
Expected output : timetracking_originalestimate filed should be updated
Actual Output : following error is coming and timetracking_originalestimate is not updated

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Time tracking is NOT a custom field. Start by fixing that.
