Description

The 'Update any Issue Field' post-function updates any field to a specified value after a transition has been completed. This can be a system- or a custom field.

The field can be on the issue in transition(within the same issue) or on a related issue, like a sub-task, a linked issue, or an issue within an Epic (during the transition on the Epic).
