SIL Not recognizing getIssueFieldNames function

[Christiam Hernandez]

Hello, im beginning with SIL and Power Scripts, however whether i try to create my first script:

string [] fields = getIssueFieldNames(issue.key);
string customKpiField = "";

for(string _fieldName in fields){
    if(contains(toLower(_fieldName), "kpi")){
       customKpiField = _fieldName;
    }
}
logPrint("Error", "KPI Field: "+customKpiField);

I get the following errors:

• [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 20] Variable fields cannot be initialized with type null
• [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 20] Routine >>getIssueFieldNames<< is not defined!
• [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 44] Cannot check accessor for null types
• Failed to retrieve from cache [[issue]]

I assume all errors are because of the function getIssueFieldNames therefore it takes a null as a type declaration and everything else...

can i get some help please?

Hello,

Your script should look like this:

string [] fields = getIssueFieldNames(key);
string customKpiField = "";

for(string _fieldName in fields){
 if(contains(toLower(_fieldName), "kpi")){
 customKpiField = _fieldName;
 }
}
logPrint("Error", "KPI Field: "+customKpiField);

You get the key of an issue by calling the key variable, not issue.key

yes, you are totally right, however that function is still not getting recognized:

• [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 20] Variable fields cannot be initialized with type null
• [SIL Error on line: 1, column: 20] Routine >>getIssueFieldNames<< is not defined!

btw, i'm looking the docs in https://confluence.cprime.io/display/SIL/getIssueFieldNames

What is your SIL engine? It is available from 3.0.8

I'm in Jira Cloud so... I assume it's the latest since i installed the plugin the last week, if not... how can i see which version is my Jira using ?

The getIssueFieldNames(issueKey) method is not available for Jira Cloud, unfortunately.
