Hi,

We are trying to push the status from Jira Cloud into a string field in Jira On-Prem.

When I use a debug statement **debug.error**

```auto
("replica.status.name = ${replica.status.name}")

```

, the I see a string such as ‘Waiting’ or In Progress. But when I try to put that into a custom string field using

```auto
“issue.customFields."Current Status" = replica.status.name”

```

I receive an error.

Do I need to convert the value to a string or something?

Thanks.

The value is already a string, but you need to put it into the value attribute of the customField i.e.

```auto
issue.customFields."Current Status".value = replica.status.name

```

`Please give it a shot and let me know the result.`

`Thanks`
