Examples

The following code example sets the "Major" value for the priority standard field as Major Priority field.

Code Block
lfSet("priority", "Major"); // where field = "priority" and value = "Major"
Warning
titleWarning

The value will not be saved in the database. To save value in the database you should do something like:

priority = "Major"; // this saves the value into the database the value.

However, please make sure that you're not on the create screen!

...

.

For fields that can accept multiple values, you can set multiple values to a field that can have multiple valuesas well. For example, let's you can set the components field to "comp1", "comp2".

Code Block
lfSet("components" , {"comp1", "comp2"});
Warningnote
titleWarningNote

You can't set a field if the values are not available for the given field. For example, in order to set the components field to "comp1", "comp2", you have to make sure that "comp1" and "comp2" are valid components for that issue. 

If you try to set

...

an issue type field using an array like the code below, lfSet will take into account only the first value from the array. So, this will set the issue type to "Task". 

Code Block
lfSet("issueType", {"Task", "Bug"});

If you want to trigger the change event on the field when using lfSet, you can use the optional triggerChange parameter set to "true":

Code Block
lfSet("customfield_10000", "updated val", true);
