Hi,

We have Jira to Jira connection where we are facing errors when issue is created where is validator set to Team field must be populated.

We need to set Team field to Default value.

This is not working for us :

issue.customFields.“Team”.value = “Team Name”

As we dont know what type is Team field can Exalate help us with code to set Team field a default value to not faced errors?

Thanks for help

We have finally tested and implemented the following snippet to be used in the Incoming script:

```auto
def setTeamField = {
    String targetTeam ->
    
    
    def var = replica.customFields."Team"?.value?.description?.shareable?.asBoolean
    def pluginAccessor = com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor.getPluginAccessor()
    def teamsPlugin = pluginAccessor.getEnabledPlugin("com.atlassian.teams")
    if (teamsPlugin == null) {
        //no teams plugin
        return
    }
    
    
    def teamsCl = teamsPlugin.classLoader
    def teamsCa = teamsPlugin.containerAccessor
    def tservClass = teamsCl.loadClass("com.atlassian.rm.teams.api.team.FullEnrichedTeamService")
    def _DefaultTeamDescription = teamsCl.loadClass("com.atlassian.rm.teams.api.team.data.DefaultTeamDescription")
    def _Optional = teamsCl.loadClass("com.google.common.base.Optional")
    def tserv = teamsCa.getBeansOfType(tservClass).first()
    def teamIds = tserv.getTeamIdsWithoutPermissionCheck()
    def teams = tserv.getTeams(teamIds)
    
    def team = teams.find { t -> t.description.title == targetTeam } //?: createTeam()
    //debug.error("this is the result of the team field: ${team}")
    
    
    issue."Team" = team
}
def targetTeam = replica.customFields."Team"?.value?.description?.title?.asString ?: "Team3" //change for default team to be set if no team field value is sent from the remote side 

if(firstSync && replica.project.key == "KANS"){
   issue.projectKey = "KAN"
   issue.typeName = nodeHelper.getIssueType(replica.type?.name, issue.projectKey)?.name ?: "Task"
  
   setTeamField(targetTeam) //Method to be called to set the field
}

```

The field can be sent in the outgoing script like this:

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

```

Hey Michal Sitkey ,

Which doc were you referring to when writing this script?

This doc might help you \> [How to Set Default Values in a Custom Field](https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+Synchronize+Custom+Fields#HowtoSynchronizeCustomFields-HowtoSetDefaultValuesinaCustomField).
