Does anybody know how to use the nodeHelper.getHtmlField with custom fields?

The standard-example with “description” field is working, but no way to integrate customFields!?!

I`ve already tested with
nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, “customfield_<FieldNumber>”)

nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, customFields.“<FieldName>”)

nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, “customFields.<FieldName>”)

nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, “customFields.<FieldNumber>”)

No way. Need help

Charlie Schonken Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately your suggestionsare not working for me

But I finally figured it out!
You need the “customfield_#####” for adressing the Jira field.

Using the following line in the outgoing Sync of Jira is working for me like a charm…

replica."MyCustomField" = nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, "customfield_10111")

Hi Stefan,

Perhaps we need to understand your business case.

But I think the code should look like below.

Unfortunately I dont have custom fields with html, so I dont use this example

nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue.customFields."#####".value)

or perhaps

nodeHelper.getHtmlField(issue, issue.customFields."#####".value)
