Updating a custom field value

[mhenslee]

I'm updating my plugin for JIRA 5.0.X and wanted to know what is the best way to update a value in a single-select list custom field via the Java API? I was using CustomField's updateValue and passing in just a String for the desired new value for the 4.3 version, but now it requires an Option/LazyLoadedOption object.

Before I re-invent the wheel, I figured I would ask the community :) - If you've updated your plugin, how are you updating custom field values?

You need an Option object instead of String.
