Retrieving values from a field and setting the value for a field are very simple.
First, you need to be able to identify the field. This can be done in three
different ways:

  1. By the fields name

  2. By the fields id

  3. By the fields alias

For more information about using custom fields see:

For more information about aliases see:

Getting Values

Setting Values

 

NOTE: This information only applies to custom fields. For standard Jira fields (like summary)
an alias has already been created and is available to use. For more information
see Working with Standard Fields.
