The value can be provided either as text (with optional Nunjucks annotations) or as a JSON value.
In the case of text, it can be a simple string (for text typed fields), the string representation of a number, date or boolean value, or the string representation of a complex value, such as a Version name, a username, a Project key, etc. Multiple values can be separated by commas. You can also use Nunjucks annotations to insert issue, linked issue, transition and current user information into
