Groovy script to update value to custom field with value of current user

This should cover most of the code you need, although you haven't told us where it will be running, which may adjust what you do and how you get the current user.

Thanks Nic for the feedback. I'm planning to use it as a workflow post function

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Ok, from memory, the current user is ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

That might have changed for Jira 7, it's been a while since I needed it in a post-function

Thanks Nic for the reply. 

above returns "username(username)". how can I get just username?

May I know the function to get current issue id (JIRA 7)?

[Heshan Manamperi]

in simply, I need to change value for current issue, not for the given ticket id in below script

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.Label

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
MutableIssue issue = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey("JRA-1")
def user = issue.getReporter()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

//How to set a text field
def stringValue = "This value goes in a text field"
def myTextField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("textFieldId")
issue.setCustomFieldValue(myTextField, stringValue)
