Getting started with SIL
- Vanya Kiritzova
Simple Issue Language (SIL) is an easy-to-learn scripting language used by Power Scripts for Jira and other apps.Ā SIL offers a powerful yet accessible way to enhance your Jira workflows and automate processes without deep technical expertise.
In this section, you'll learn the fundamentals of SIL scripting - from basic syntax to best practices. We've organized the content to take you from your first script to building sophisticated solutions.
For example, with SIL and Power Scripts for Jira, you can create a workflow action that automatically creates a sub-task.
string projectKey= "TSTP";
string issueType = "Sub-task";
string issueSummary = "Issue created using SIL";
//create function
issue = createIssue(projectKey, key, issueType, issueSummary);This guide focuses on practical applications, step-by-step procedures, and scripting best practices.
For comprehensive details about SIL language syntax, data types, operators, and other language-specific elements, see the SIL reference guide. The reference guide provides complete technical documentation for the language itself, while this section will help you apply SIL effectively in real-world scenarios.
