Setting PeoplePicker field using CSOM .Net Code

I want to query a SP Online list and upon getting the results using CAML query would want to add items to another list using CSOM Managed Code. I want to capture the CreatedBy Field from the 1st list to a PeoplePicker field in the 2nd list. Please let me know how can i achieve this

1. var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
2. if (clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
3. var webSite = clientContext.get_web();
4. this.list = webSite.get_lists().getByTitle("CustomList");
5. var fieldCreatedBy = this.listItem.get_item("Author");
6. }
8. // Author is internal name for the Created by columns.
9. Then you can try the below code to update the people picker of other list.
10. var newUser = new SP.FieldUserValue();
11. var userid = _spPageContextInfo.userId;
12. newUser.set_lookupId(userid);
14. item.set_item("ParticipantsPicker", userid);
15. item.update();
16. ctx.executeQueryAsync(
17. function() {
18. console.log('Update');
19. },
20. function(sender,args) {
21. console.log('An error occurred:' + args.get_message());
22. }
23. );
24. }
