This page explains how to access the value of User-created custom fields of different field types using Groovy.  You can access them using the getters of the Issue interface. However, accessing custom fields using the native Jira API can be much more complex, depending on the type of the custom field being accessed. Instead, it is easier to access the fields using the methods provided by JMWE. To understand how to write values into the writable custom fields see Raw value/text input for fields and Groovy expression input for fields.
