Create a 'Code Review' subtask in Automation & Transition the subtaks to Code Review

[Vineet Sawhney]

Hi, So this is what I'm trying to do in Automation... When a Task transitions to 'Ready for Review' > Create a 'Code Review' subtask.... this works fine.

The challenge is that new 'Code Review' subtask is sitting in backlog even after applying a few transition conditions in automation - by following the right path. And the main Task basis which I trigged and created the subtask in in 'Code Review' status

Maybe I'm doing a silly mistake that's why the new 'Code Review' subtask is not transitioning to 'Code Review'

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks, Vineet.

Hi Vineet,

Place a Branch rule / related issues component before the Transition to Code Review. 

Use Most Recently Created Issue

Thanks a lot @John Funk ... it definitely helps in fixing the core problem. But still stuck on the transition of the 'Code Review' task from 'Backlog' to 'Code Review' status. I have not allowed 'Everyone can transition' to my statuses hence I have to make Automation follow a path but it seems like the change is so fast in Jira it still reads the prior Status as Backlog and not transiting it past the 'To Do' stage.

thanks again for your help.

Maybe try putting a Re-fetch issue data component between each transition. 

Or modify your workflow to go from Backlog to Code Review and place a Condition on it if the issuetype = Code Review.

Then you would be able to move straight to Code Review status.
