There are 5 temporary number fields.

{issue.temporaryNumber1}
{issue.temporaryNumber2}
{issue.temporaryNumber3}
{issue.temporaryNumber4}
{issue.temporaryNumber5}

These fields are used to hold temporary numeric and date-time values returned by a post function, which can be used in a subsequent post function.

Example

You want to copy the closest du date from all linked issues into a custom field called: Closest due date

Set up a Copy field values from linked issues or subtasks post function to retrieve the closest due date from all linked issues and copy it into the Temporary number 1 field.

Set up a second post function: Copy the temporary value into the custom field.

Please note that:

once a transition execution has ended, all temporary fields are cleared.
you cannot use temporary fields to pass values from one transition to another.
