Excerpt
Executes the given SIL script , passing the screen values for the specified dependent fields (relatedFields) as parameters to the script.

This is especially useful in the create issue screen, where you don't have access to the issue standard variables. Using an instant hook, you can access in the hook script the screen values for the desired fields as argv[field] in the hook script.

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
relatedFields

String Array

YesThe dependent Dependent fields required for the a given field.
scriptPathStringYesThe script Script source to run when the event is triggered.

Example

Code Block
lfInstantHook({"summary", "customfield_13706", "components"}, " hook.sil");

 For the scriptPath parameter you can either give the relative path (as in the example above) , or the absolute path as: "
C:/Program Files/Atlassian/Application Data/JIRA/silprograms/hook.sil".

Code Block
// hook.sil : 
 if (contains(argv["summary"], "important")) {
	lfSet("priority", "Highest");
	lfShowFieldMessage("priority", "Priority changed", "INFO");
 }

Every time when the initial script is triggered, the hook.sil is executed. When the summary field contains the word “important”, priority the Priority field is set to Highest and "Highest" and a message will be displayed for the priority Priority field.

The first image shows the initial value of the priority for the current issue, the next one shows the value it is changed to, after executing the code from hook.sil.

As we said before, the The values from the relatedFields are accessed as argv[field]. For multiple values fields like components or affectedVersions,  the value returned is in the following format: val1|val2|val3.
