Automation: Create Review Task for multiple Users

[Janis Pirgge]

Hi all,

is it possible to define an automation which creates a sub task for each user which is stored in an multiple user picker field?

We are using a Jira project to track the progress of Review Loops for process descriptions. For each process update we create a task. The reviewers are defined in a custom field. 
Now we create a Sib Task for each reviewer and manually assign it to them. 
The number of reviewer and the users are different for each task.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Janis Pirgge -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you probably could do this with automation...

• use a webrequest to call the REST API method for Get Users for Group
• use text and list functions to pull out the account ID values from the response
• use advanced branching to iterate over the list as a smart value (possibly using a created variable) to add each sub-task

Best regards,
Bill
