Set issue fields

When you add this post function to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on sets one or more field values of the target issue(s) as configured. The values can be provided either as text (with optional Nunjucks annotations) or as a JSON object.

• Text - 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, transition, and current user information into the value, using the issue, transition, and currentUser variables, respectively. 

• JSON value - requires the option Treat value as JSON (explained here), it can be a String, a Number, a Boolean, or an Object. It can also be an array of such values.

To find out more about the type of value expected by this post function for different field types, see Expected value for each field type.
