            custom_fields_mapping
           );
print ("On the project " + project + ", issue " + k + "is created.");

Will create an Improvement with no components and the assignee set for user with the username "someUserName".

Example 4

Will create a Task, on the ‘JSD’ project, and will fill the ‘my_multi_field’ with 3 values (“my label 0”, “my label 1” and “my label 2”).

This is useful, for example if you have a field that allows multiple values to be selected (E.G. Power Custom Fields' - “PCF - Multi Select“.

Optionally, for Power Custom Fields, you can set the option’s value. If you don’t want the option’s value set, you can just use simple strings instead of the JFieldValue structure.
