Create a set of sub tasks automatically when a issue is created

[Swaroop Bangera]

I have a set of 10-15 subtasks by default for every Issue which is created.
So whenever i Create a Issue I want the sub tasks to be automatically created by defaults using automation.

How can I achieve this?

Hi Swaroop,

You can see how to do that here:

Hi @Swaroop Bangera ,

Yes, this can be achieved. Please follow below steps

Go to Project settings --> Automation --> Create new rule

Select trigger as Issue created 
If you need any conditions, ad them under "If: Add a condition"

In JQL section, type your query for which tickets you need sub-tasks to be created and click Save

Select Action --> Create Sub-Tasks. Fill the subtask descriptions and go on adding the required sub-tasks to the list

Hi @Swaroop Bangera 

It’s Aleksandra from Deviniti and after reading your post, I think you may find our app handy :) 

With the help of Issue Templates for Jira, you can create a repository of reusable templates to cover all the repetitive tasks in your projects. Such templates can be used to create new issues in Jira (via the Create issue from template button), but also in Automation.

So if you need to automatically populate a set of sub-tasks, you could prepare a template and then use our post function to apply it when a new issue is created in the project. You could also use it in automation if more appropriate.

Thanks to that, each time a new issue is created, the subtasks and their field values defined in your templates will be added immediately.

Hopefully, you will find it useful!

Cheers,
Aleksandra
