Create Multiple linked issues with value from custom field

[Hanna Torany]

I have a custom field called "Systems". In this field the reporter can choose many value.

for ex. Systems = Jira - Confluence - VLC - Teams

I want to automatically create linked issues for each value that the user had choosed in field "Systems" when he/she create the issue in the portal.

Input :

Systems = Jira - Confluence - VLC - Teams

Result:

• Linked issue 1: have value Jira in custom field "Systems"
• Linked issue 2: have value Confluence in custom field "Systems"
• Linked issue 3: have value VLC in custom field "Systems"
• Linked issue 4: have value Teams in custom field "Systems"

Our Aim is having different issue that we can send to different system owner to get approval on the systems.

NOTE!! I have two addons on my instance:

• Automation for Jira
• JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows

Hi @Hanna Torany 

You can certainly do this with Automation for Jira.

Simply create a rule when a new issues is created. 

Then do a series of Conditions. 

If System = Jira, then create a new issue

If System = Teams, then create a new issue

It would look something like this (I used Component instead of System)

We have 300 different systems. This mean i need to create to many automation to do that and i need to make sure that when we add a new system we need to put this in automation.

I need to be able to automate that.

You are not going to be able to automation the adding of new actions in an Automation rule. That's a manual process.
