Hi,

May I know how to sync system field to custom field. I’m syncing from server instance to cloud and vice versa. I need to save key, reporter and status from other instance in my local instance. Please assist.

Hi!

You can do that like this:

```auto
issue.customFields."CF Name".value = replica.key
//or
issue.customFields."CF Name".value = replica.status.name
//or
issue.customFields."CF Name".value = replica.reporter?.username //or email

```

Just make sure you are setting those values on the replica, on the outgoing script of the sending side (they are set by default). Also make sure to use the exact CF Name or the ID number (or also between quotes)

Best regards,

Juan
