Linking all subtasks of the linked issue

[Amir Horesh]

I am looking for a way so when I link a parent issue to a target ticket, it will automatically link every subtask created under the parent issue to the target ticket.

The idea is that I want to see in the target issue all linked subtasks, without the need to link them one by one, just by linking the parent task.

Hi Amir,

Are you using Scriptrunner?

If so I'd suggest configuring a Listener to listen to link events and have it automatically link issues as described using groovy scripting whenever the target issue has sub-tasks.

I would be careful with implementing this as it sounds like it can become a bit messy with so many links. You might want to consider configuring a dashboard or even use a scrum or kanban board in order to get a better overview of what is relevant instead.

Best regars,

Markus

@Amir Horesh - you can try running a bulk edit on the sub-tasks, or try creating an automation rule in Jira such that whenever the parent issue is linked to the ticket, all sub-tasks are automatically linked OR if a new subtask is created, it automatically links to the target ticket as that of the parent.
