This document lists the expected text/raw input value that should be provided to set Jira Standard and Custom fields. The easiest is to use the "Expected Value" tab of the Groovy editor help system. It lists the possible expected values for the selected Field and Value Type. This is applicable in contexts where you set a field value or comment an issue or write a conditional Groovy script. Select the Field and Value Type as Set field value to constant or Groovy template. Click on Expected Value. The help editor displays the expected text/Groovy templates values for the selected field.
You might also want to look at Standard fields, Predefined custom fields, and User-created custom fields to know how to access the fields of an issue object.

| Note |

Use with caution! Changing the issue type should only be done if the current and new issue types share the same workflow, or if the issue's Status exists in both the current and new workflow. Otherwise, the operaton will fail. Also, when changing the issue type of the current issue, make sure to move the post-function below the "Set issue status to the linked status of the destination workflow step" built-in post-function. |
String representing the issue type name or id | |

| Note |

Use with caution! Changing the Status of an issue is normally done only through an issue transition. Changing the Status field value directly will not validate potentially required fields (such as the Resolution field), and will leave no trace in the issue history. This should be used only in specific cases. Also, when changing the Status of the current issue, make sure to move the post-function below the "Set issue status to the linked status of the destination workflow step" built-in post-function. Finally, the Status field cannot be set during a Create transition. |
