At the end I’ve figured it out

issue.customFields.“CustomField”.value = [nodeHelper.getUserByUsername(“Username1”), nodeHelper.getUserByUsername(“Username2”)]

Thanks for the help

Hi Samuel Bartolome

Check following document How to synchronize list custom fields

Let me know

Hi,
I believe the option I’m looking for is below, however I don’t seem to understand the last part of the code from the + sign

nodeHelper.getOption(issue,``"Multi Select Custom Field name"``,``"MY STATIC OPTION"``)

Set an option value manually into the local custom field

123 issue.customFields.``"Multi Select Custom Field name"``.value =``(issue.customFields.``"Multi Select Custom Field name"``.value ?: []) +``nodeHelper.getOption(issue,``"Multi Select Custom Field name"``,``"MY STATIC OPTION"``)

what is the error you encounter?

Samuel Bartolome commented on 07 September 2020

There is no error, however no data is populated into the field.

How shall we proceed if we would like to add 2 default values?

Thanks

You can always inspect the values and the flow of the script by adding

throw new Exception("Result - ${nodeHelper.getOption(issue, "Multi Select Custom Field name", "MY STATIC OPTION")}")

This will provide you a way to look at the calculated value.
