We tried below script but this is not working as expected

def hobbyMap = [“Academy”: “0010”, “Lulu”: “0010”, “Pet”: “0010”, “Sep”: “0010”]  
def remoteHobbies = replica.customFields." 10635 “?. Value? .Value  
issue.customFields.” desinationcustomfield ".value = remoteHobbies.collect{hobbyMap [it]?: it}

Hi Vinay,

Please make sure to check on syntax, since this should work:

```auto
def hobbyMap = ["Academy": "0010", "Lulu": "0010", "Pet": "0010", "Sep": "0010"] // ["remote options" : "local option"]
def remoteHobbies = replica.customFields."10635"?.value?.value
issue.customFields."destinationcustomfield".value = remoteHobbies.collect{hobbyMap[it] ?: it}

```

Kind regards,

Ariel
