SIL Functions library

The SIL functions library provides a rich set of built-in functions (routines) that extend the core language capabilities. These functions are organized into categories, from basic programming operations to specialized Jira and Atlassian product integrations.
The library includes:
Core programming functions (arrays, strings, math, dates)
File and system operations
Jira-specific functionality
Integration capabilities (HTTP, webhooks, other systems)
Power Suite-specific functions
While the core SIL language provides the basic programming constructs, the Standard Library is what makes SIL a powerful tool for Jira automation and customization. These functions are an integral part of the language, though some are specifically tied to particular Power Suite apps.
How to read function documentation

Function name | The exact name to use in your code. |
|---|---|
Description | A brief explanation of what the function does. |
Parameters | What input the function accepts:
|
Return type | What the function returns:
|
Examples | Sample code showing how to use the function. |
