We are moving to Jira 7.6. I want to create subtasks with custom fields that are linked to the parent so that if I change data in the parent it changes data in the subtask.
Is there a post function that does this? I have looked at a couple but cannot get them to work, so I'm guessing I am trying the wrong one or missing something.
I'm using the post function on the create transition for the subtask when creating a specific subtask issue type, so I know that the post function has to come after "Creates the issue originally". I thought Linked Transition (JSU) would be the logical choice, but it is not working. Yes, the fields I want to link do have data in the parent task, but are not flowing to the subtask.
Hi,
If you change things in the parent task, and use post-function, it will only update the subtask if you're doing a transition. However, when you're updating a ticket by simply editing it, no transition, and thus no post-function, will execute.
You have a few choices:
*Automation plugins (or Jira Service Desk) that listen for updated issues.
*Scripting plugins (such as scriptrunner) that use script listeners to listen for "issue updated" and then updating sub-tasks through scripts, or use script fields which can automatically update other fields in other issues
