When defining field values, ensure that the value you enter is valid for the datatype of the selected field. Also verify that the context configuration for the project that uses the workflow will allow the modifying of the selected field. If not, the transition may fail at execution time.
Typically you will use text or numbers as values.

Cascading Select fields
For Cascading Select fields, you can either use the value (name or number) of the option you would like to set, or the option ID. When using the value, there is no need to specify the parent option. For example:
Vehicles
Car
Train
Bus
Buildings
House
Skyscraper
Using Vehicles as the parameter for Field Value sets the field content to that option; similarly, if you use Train.
Dynamic value macros
If you use
%%CURRENT_USER%%as the field value, the user who triggered the post function will be set as the value.If you use
%%PREVIOUS_USER%%as the field value, the field is updated with the previous user assigned to the field. This is valid for single-user picker fields in the ‘Update Any Issue Field’ post function.If you use
%%CURRENT_DATETIME%%as the field value, the current date and time will be set as the value.If you use
%%ADD_CURRENT_USER%%as the field value, the user who triggered the post function will be appended to the existing field content.
Obsolete since JSU version 1.4.10: %%ADD_CURRENT_USER%%
Use the option 'Append value' combined with the macro '%%CURRENT_USER%%' instead.
