Hello Mario,

You need to place the following script in your connection:

**Outgoing Sync Jira Cloud 1**

```auto
replica.customFields."Bug" = issue.customFields."Bug"

```

**Incoming Sync Of Jira Cloud 2**

```auto
if(replica.customFields."Bug".value?.value == ["Yes"]){ 
	issue.customFields."Bug Fix Approved (Team Leaders)".value = ["Yes"] 
	issue.customFields."Bug fix reason"?.value = "NAVMOBILE"
}else{
	issue.customFields."Bug Fix Approved (Team Leaders)".value = [] 
	issue.customFields."Bug fix reason".value = null
}

```

The problem is that this check box may be checked after the task is created so it errors for a null object

Hi  
It depends on what type of fields you use for the option “yes”. Is it a text field, list, or any other type.  
Do you use Cloud or DC?

I would by with looking at this documentation:  
[https://docs.exalate.com/docs/how-to-synchronize-custom-fields-in-jira-cloud](https://docs.exalate.com/docs/how-to-synchronize-custom-fields-in-jira-cloud)

This is for on-prem:  
[https://docs.exalate.com/docs/how-to-synchronize-custom-fields-in-jira-on-premise](https://docs.exalate.com/docs/how-to-synchronize-custom-fields-in-jira-on-premise)
