Class iqlFacadeClass = ComponentAccessor.getPluginAccessor().getClassLoader().findClass(“com.riadalabs.jira.plugins.insight.channel.external.api.facade.IQLFacade”);  
def iqlFacade = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(iqlFacadeClass)  
// Configuration

def selectListValue = replica.customFields.“SelectList”?.value?.value

if (selectListValue) {  
// Construct IQL query to find the asset by the select list value  
def selectList = selectListValue.toString().replaceAll(“\[|\]”, “”)  
def iqlQuery = “objectType = "objectID" AND Name = "$selectList"”

```
def objects = iqlFacade.findObjects(iqlQuery)
throw new com.exalate.api.exception.IssueTrackerException(objects.toString())

if (objects) {
    def objectBean = objects[0] // Assume first match
    
    issue.customFields."Assets".value = objects[0]

```

}  
}

The results of “def objects = iqlFacade.findObjects(iqlQuery)” returns empty value on Exalate. So I am not able to map the values to the asset custom field. The user executing the the script has admin permission on Jira.

**Troubleshooting** :  
Query outputs results through Asset Search,.  
Executed the same script on Scriptrunner console and it returned values. Exalate is failing to fetch the values for the query.

Can someone help with fixing the script?

Hi,

Have you tried the recommended syntax from here please:

> **[How to Sync Insight Custom Fields](https://docs.exalate.com/docs/how-to-sync-insight-custom-fields)**
>
> This article shows examples of syncing Insight custom fields.

Also, what does your replica contain in the payload for:  
replica.customFields.“SelectList”?.value?.value

Thanks  
Majid
