My customer have custom field named “Sprint” with values 1 , 2 , 3 , 4.

We have custom field named “Test Sprint” with values Test1, Test2, Test3, Test4.

Customer is the Master, My “Test Sprint” field needs to updated based on Custom field “Sprint”.

1 - Test1

2 - Test2

3 - Test3

4 - Test4

Could you please suggest Outgoing and Incoming sync accordingly, Thanks.

Hi Madhu,

Yes this should be possible with the following script, make sure you add this as an additional script to your Visual connection and make sure the part that says "executionInstanceName == “MyJira” " is changed to the name of the side where you want to set the Test Sprint custom field.

Script:

```auto
if (executionInstanceName == "MyJira") {
	def sprintMap = ["1":"Test1", "2":"Test2", "3":"Test3", "4":"Test4"]
	def remoteSprintValue = replica.customFields."Sprint".value
	issue.customFields."Test Sprint".value = sprintMap[remoteSprintValue]
}

```

Let me know how this goes!

Thanks,

André

> Well, I’m not completely clear on how your use case is, but the idea is that in the outgoing sync, the "issue.customFields.“Sprint” / “Dev Sprint” needs to match the name of the field that you are sending, so if the on the sending side the field is called “Sprint” then the line should be:
> 
> replica.customFields.“Dev Sprint” = issue.customFields.“Dev Sprint”
> 
> but if the field in the sending side is called “Sprint”, then the line should be:

> and the same thing for the incoming sync, if the field in the incoming side is called “Dev Sprint”, then the line should be:

> issue.customFields.“Dev Sprint”.value = …
