Create Component When Creating an Epic

[Massaut]

Hello everyone.

I need to know if there is a way to automate the creation of a component, at the time of creating an epic. I have the JMWE app installed on the instance, but I can do that with Jira Software's native automation as well.

My idea is to create a project and the post function of it will be to create a component with the same name as the epic, so that I can link everything related to it.

This need aims to solve item search questions.

Hi @Massaut 

with JMWE Cloud, you can create a new component using a Build-your-own post-function, with a script looking like this:

{{ "/rest/api/3/component" | callJira(
verb="POST",
body= {
  "name": issue.fields.summary,
  "project": issue.fields.project.key
}
) }}

Wow!
Thanks my friend!
This worked perfectly.

@Massaut, 

There's not a direct action to create a component, but you could trigger a web request to the end point for creating components.
