Description

Attaches listeners for the events that you give as parameters in the function. If you don't give any event, this function attaches listeners to the "change" event which is triggered when the issue is updated. Every time when the event is triggered, the SIL script from scriptPath parameter runs. This SIL script receives the values for the relatedFields parameter and you can use them as: argv["field"].

C:/Program Files/Atlassian/Application Data/JIRA/silprograms/hook.sil.

lfWatch("summary", {"summary", "customfield_13706","components"}, " hook.sil", {"keyup"}); //where field = "summary";relatedFields = {"summary", "customfield_13706","components"};scriptPath = " hook.sil";javaScriptEvents = {"keyup"}

Every time when the keyup event is triggered, the hook.sil is executed. When the Summary field contains the word ?important?, the Priority field is set to "Highest" and a message is displayed for the priority fie

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