Hi @Olivier Albertini,

It looks like when you are trying to call

def customFieldTechVal = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldTech).name

you are getting a null pointer exception.

That is probably happening because customFieldTech is not present (is null) in the issue from which the other user is trying to call the transition. Therefore an exception is thrown due to the fact that you are trying to retrieve the property "name" from a null object.
