This script assumes that it is running in the context of an issue. Like in a

from the SIL Manager, add an issue key to test with under the Run Configuration
setting (Run > Run Configuration > Context).
//------GETTING FIELD VALUE------- date myDate = customfield_12345; //<-- update this customfield id runnerLog(myDate); //displays results in the editor console panel
NOTE: getting the value using the customfield id is not the best practice when
writing SIL scripts. See the workingWithCustomfields.sil example for more
information on the best practices.
