Could you explain the requirement a bit more?  What do you mean by "download" - what's the format for example?  And why just one field?

I am trying to read a field value of any specific issue and copy that in a text file. I tried using CustomFieldManager class but could bot get the result.

Ok, so you are writing an addon to get plain text. Try issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)

Thanks Nic

Hi Nick, I am trying to implement almost similar to export option on issue view page but for only specific fields(with and option to export in text file). I have already downloaded the jira source code .

Hi Nick, need your help here as I am unable to trigger an action when ever I click on the new web item I have created on the issue view page.

That's a different question. Check the classes you've pointed the web-item action to in the xml.

@Nic Brough [Adaptavist] I have added the screenshot of what I am actually trying to do. Already added the web item. Now when a user clicks on the FeatureFile it should download a custom field value in a text file on user's desktop. Issue currentIssue = (Issue) jiraHelper.getContextParams().get("issue"); CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager(); CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("10000"); Object goal = currentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(customField);

Your code will need to construct some html that tells the browser this is a download of some text rather than a web page. Have a look at the links on the issue or issue navigator for "download to excel" or "save as word" - they do it.
