Why SIL ?
If you need to customize Jira really deep, choose SIL from one of our apps Power Scripts™ for Jira v4.0 and / or Power Actions™ for Jira. The top reasons to use it are:
- Really delivers fast.
- Shields you form the Jira internals.
- Consistent from version to version.
- Extensible (routines and custom fields).
- Covers many other commercial apps functionalities.
Choosing SIL is a smart thing to do:
- If you really care about standard programming practices, you can move workflows from test to production environments very quick.
- Scripts can be easily adapted and modified on the fly.
- You pay only once, then you can cover countless customizations, that otherwise would require a dozen of apps.
- It is supported and you have the power.
This is the best option you could have for Jira customization.
Example
Below is a short example so you know what to expect:
string k;
assignee = "admin";
reporter = assignee;
created = currentDate();
description = "some description";
dueDate = currentDate() + "1d";
env = "environment";
estimate = "2d" + "3h";
originalEstimate = "1d 4h" + "21h";
priority = "Critical";
if(not contains(summary, "test")){
summary = "test " + summary;
} else {
summary = "random summary assigned";
}
spent = "2d";
updated = currentDate() - "1d";
votes = votes + 1;
workflow = "TWFLScheme";
if(issueType == "Bug"){
issueType = "Task";
} else {
issueType = "Bug";
}
project = "TSTP";
//Custom fields here
UPPG = "admin";
//time interval custom field
if(isNull(tt1)) {
tt1 = estimate + "1h";
} else {
tt1 = tt1 + "1h";
}
//number custom field
if(isNull(cfnumber)){
cfnumber = 1;
} else {
cfnumber = cfnumber + 1;
}
//create routine
k = createIssue("TSTP", "", issueType, "auto-created issue");
%k%.votes = %k%.votes + 1;
//autotransition
autotransition(721,key);
//or:
//autotransition("Send report","PRJ-123");
Do not worry if all is not clear from the start, it will all make sense after you finish reading this guide.
