Automation help: Create issues & subtasks when setting up a new project

[Anania Noemi]

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m trying to set up an automation in Jira and could use a bit of help from the community. Every time I create a company-managed project, I’d like to automatically generate three issues: HW SF FW Each of these should then have three subtasks created under them, named: HW.1 SW.1 ECC Is this something that can be done with Jira Automation? If so, any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance 🙌

Hi @Anania Noemi 

If I understand what you're asking, there's a "Project created" automation trigger. You should be able to use that to automate creating the issues and tasks you want.

Hi @Anania Noemi, You can set up a new automation rule after the project has been created; it is not feasible to create the tasks and sub-tasks at the time of project creation.

Thanks for your replay!! :) 

Do you happen to have any suggestions or workarounds that could help me reach a similar result?
