> ℹ️ The **Requested Participant** field can be set like any other custom field in Jira. However, referencing a custom field by its ID is not a best practice for SIL scripting. For more information on the preferred method of referencing custom fields, go to [Custom Fields Aliases](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PSJ/pages/15486340).

The following post function automatically adds a requested participant.

```
customfield_10301 = assignee;
```
