Useful Information

Implemented in Jira Suite Utilities from version 0.6-EA1 http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/JIRA+Suite+Utilities

Here is code for a post function to clear / void a custom field of an issue. However, please take note that if the updateValue() method of the CFType is overriden (such as ImportIdLinkCFType's), it might not perform the desired action.

public void execute(Map transientVars, Map args, PropertySet ps)
  throws WorkflowException {

  MutableIssue mIssue = (MutableIssue) transientVars.get("issue");
  CustomFieldManager cfm = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();

  // To retrieve/print the value:
  // CustomField cf = cfm.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10070");
  // System.out.println("Clearing value: "+mIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf));

  mIssue.setCustomFieldValue(cfm.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10070"), null);
}

    Is there any trick in clearing a custom field value for a sub-task?

    It does work for an issue but doesn't work for a sub-task.
