Excerpt

hidden	true

Getting the issue context from SIL Listener events.

Arguments

Any script that processes an event will receive as parameters in the argv the following:

Position	Parameters
0	user - the calling user
1	eventId - the internal event id
2	eventName - the event name

You can always get this information directly in your script:

Code Block
string callingUser = argv[0]; string eventName = argv[2];

SIL Context. Extracting the information from event

As mentioned, context is determined through the event type.

Events	Context/Available routinesfunctions
Issue Created / Updated / Deleted	Issue context for create and update. You may use all issues variables Additional supporting functions: `getEventName` For Issue Update event you may use the following routinesfunctions: `getEventIssueChanges` `getEventIssueFieldChange` `isIssueFieldChanged` For Issue Deleted - Global context. Using issue variables will error, since the issue is already deleted
Issue Commented / Issue Comment Added / Deleted	Issue context. You may use all issues variables Additional supporting routinesfunctions: `getEventName` `getIssueLinkFromEvent`
Issue Link Added / Deleted	Issue context. You may use all issues variables Additional supporting routinesfunctions: `getEventName` `getIssueLinkFromEvent`
Project Created / Updated / Deleted	Global context. Using issue variables will error Additional supporting routinesfunctions: `getEventName` `getProjectFromEvent`
Version Created / Updated / Deleted / Released / Unreleased	Global context. Using issue variables will error Additional supporting routinesfunctions: `getEventName` `getVersionFromEvent`
User Created / Updated / Deleted	Global context. Using issue variables will error Additional supporting routinesfunctions: `getUserFromEvent`

Also, the issue context (all standard variables and custom field values) will be set to those of the issue where the event was triggered from. For example, if a SIL script is triggered by an event launched from the "TST-123" issue, all standard variables and custom fields used in the SIL script will point to the "TST-123" issue, unless specified otherwise using the construction %otherIssueKey% variable.

Info

To edit the actual scripts, use SIL™ Manager.

Aside from the issue events that are configurable from Jira UI, a SIL Listener also enables you to react to other events. Note that these events will not run in an issue context since they're not related to an issue, and it doesn't make sense using standard issue variables without qualifying them with the key of the issue. Additionally, each event might add additional information to the argv variable aside from the information that is common for all events.

The first three elements in the argv string array are (note that indexing in the array starts with 0):

The user that triggered the event
An internal id for the event that was triggered. Normally you wouldn't need this.
The name of the event as specified in the dropdown list that configures the listener.

The next elements in the array after these are event-specific and are detailed in the following table.
