Is there a way to create a recurring JIRA?

[Deleted user]

Let's say I have a recurring monthly task. Each month, the users need to create a new JIRA for tracking purposes. Is there a way for me to set it up a JIRA or special Issue Type so that a new JIRA is created on a regular basis automatically (say, monthly)?

EDIT: For example, there is a report that i have to generate at the beginning of each month. Ideally, a new Issue would be created on the first of each month for generating the report. After I finish, I close the issue as normal, and next month, a new one will be auto generated.

As I know.. this is not possible OOTB. You will need to use a plugin or a script to achieve that. I think that The Scheduler might fit into your needs:

unfortunately we use the cloud version.

Yes, you can use a service checking for a certain date in a month. You could use scripting (ScriptRunner, JJupin,others) to create your recurring task.

no idea how to do this.

Bit of an outside the box solution but what about setting up a scheduled task on a windows box that creates an issue via JIRAs REST api? Easy to maintain and doesn't require writing a plugin

right, so you want an issue to be re-created monthly in a specific date>?

yes, see my edit to the original post.

I'm not sure of the difference, but it the system that we use, it's referred to as an Issue.

do you mean an issue or ticket ?
