Example

For the scriptPath parameter you can either give the relative path

or the absolute path:
C:/Program Files/Atlassian/Application Data/JIRA/silprograms/hook.sil.

// hook.sil : 
 if (contains(argv[lfInstantHook({"summary"], "important")) {
	lfSet("priority"customfield_13706", "Highest");
	lfShowFieldMessage("priority"components"}, "Priority changed", "INFO hook.sil");
 }

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

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.

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