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.

Learn more about SIL™ routines here.
