Automation

[Ayush Lawania]

Hey, 

Need to automate in such a way that whenever a issue is transitioned from to-do to inprogress, subtasks should be created automatically, but it should be done only once, for example, i have an issue and it is transitioned from todo to inprogress then 4 subtasks should be created, and then suppose I have transitioned the status to done and again moved it back to inprogress status then it should not create subtasks as they will be created in the first transition.

Hello @Ayush Lawania 

Could the issue have other subtasks besides the 4 you want created automatically?

If not, this automation would work.

TRIGGER: Issue Transitioned from To Do to In Progress
CONDITION: Issue Type is one of (the issues types that can have subtasks)
CONDITION: Related Issues - Subtasks are not present
  ACTION: Create Issue (repeat for each subtask needing to be created)

Hi @Ayush Lawania 

You could do something like this:

• TRIGGER: Issue Transitioned
  This will ensure it only triggers on To Do >> In Progress
  
  • From: To Do
  • To: In Progress
• CONDITION (Related Issues Condition)
  This condition is optional to help refine it further in the event that an issue could transition back to To Do and back to In Progress
  
  • Sub-Tasks
  • Some type of condition that looks for existence of these sub-tasks to ensure they don't get recreated
• ACTION: Create Sub-Tasks
