Simple Issue Language

Simple Issue Language (SIL) is an easy to learn scripting language (see SIL syntax) that is used by our certain apps.

Example

For example with SIL and Power Scripts for Jira app you can create a post-function that automatically creates a sub-task.

string projectKey= "TSTP";

string issueType = "Sub-task";
string issueSummary = "Issue created using SIL";
//create routine
issue = createIssue(projectKey, key, issueType, issueSummary);

See more examples here.

Syntax

For the language syntax, check out the syntax page.

Jira standard variables

SIL has a list of standard variables that you can use to change issues fields.

For example, to change the issue description you can use the standard variable description:

description = "Issue description";

Learn more about standard variables here.

Routines

SIL comes with a library of standard routines to use in scripts. There are routines for handling arrays, strings, dates and there are specific app routines.
