Getting and Setting Custom Fields

Implicit Context

Whenever reading or storing a custom field value, the SIL Engine must be given an issue context so that it can connect those values to an issue. In most scripting environments (such as a listener or a custom workflow), the context is already provided.

Getting a Custom Field Value by Id

string value = customfield_1234;

Getting a Custom Field Value by Name

string value = #{custom field name};

Setting a Custom Field Value by Id

customfield_1234 = value;

Setting a Custom Field Value by Name

customfield_1234 = #{custom field name};

Explicit Context

There are times when you must explicitly declare the context of an issue. This is especially useful when looping through an array of issues.

Getting a Custom Field Value by Id

string value = key.customfield_1234;

Getting a Custom Field Value by Name

string value = key.#{custom field name};

Setting a Custom Field Value by Id

%key%.customfield_1234 = value;

Setting a Custom Field Value by Name

%key%.customfield_1234 = #{custom field name};
