about subtask

[Surender Reddy]

Hi Frds,

In a project, we are using post functions(

Create multiple subtasks

Configure a template to create multiple subtasks when the transition is reached.

) to create subtasks when the task is created.  Now My manager is asking to make them optional for the reporter. so that he can select what subtask to create and what to not.

Is there any way to create an option on the create screen for this subtask selection.

Please help me out if you need any more information plz let me know.

Hello @Surender Reddy 

For Quick-sub-tasks plugin I don't see the option of add a condition, if you were using other paid plugins like JSU or Script Runner, then it would have been straightforward.

Hello @Surender Reddy 

Here's how I will do it using Script runner plugin.

For each sub-task to be created you can use the post-function of the plugin called "Create a sub-task". Now in the post-function configuration there is an option to add "condition". In that condition you can check if the corresponding checkbox has been selected by the user or not and if it's not selected then the post-function will not go ahead with the sub-task creation.

Hello @Surender Reddy 

You can create a custom field containing checkboxes. Each checkbox should correspond to each sub-task. Then add the custom field on the issue create screen and based on the selection of the check-boxes you can trigger corresponding sub-task creation.

You must be using a plugin for sub-task creation just check if the plugin allows to put  conditions before sub-task creation so that you can check based on checkbox value if the sub-task can be created or not.
