Automatic sub-task creation in Jira On Demand

[Kevin Rowley]

I often need to create the same set of 4 or 5 sub-tasks and associate them with a Story. In On Demand, is there a recommended way of automating or semi-automating this process? With the download Jira there is a plug-in out there but it is not available in On Demand. So, is there another way of accomplishing this in On Demand other than manually creating one sub-task at a time?

I found Sub Task Manager for JIRA Cloud. With this plugin you can:

• Create a template list of subtasks
• Make a copy of the template, alter it and then save it for future use
• In the templates you can add summary, description, priority, due date
• In the templates you can add dues dates that auto populate depending on when you actually create the subtasks
• In the templates you can add a description for each subtask and it supports JIRA Text Formatting
• You can have many different templates saved.

Bob,

Any news on Create on transition for JIRA Cloud?

From an automation perspective, you can use JIRA Command Line Interface. How to create projects or sets of issues based on a template has some more information.

In the future, Create on Transition for JIRA will have OnDemand support. Please vote for CSOT-136.

Thanks for the tip. Will give that a try.
