[Jaspreet Kaur]

Hello,

I want to create sub-task on transition of workflow.

Example: READY----------new instance----------READY

when user go click on instance, a new pop-up for particular sub-task issue type appear.

And all values filled by user only.

Please give us your valuable suggestions

Thanks

Hi @Jaspreet Kaur ,

You can create a sub-task on workflow transition with Create on Transition for Jira. 

You have to perform a post function, upon issue transition, it automatically creates a sub-task for you. See the below example post function, which creates a sub-task along with information like, Issue type, Priority, Reporter and etc fields are created on the sub-task.

Thanks,
Raja

Thank you @[deleted] for your help.

But your solution create sub-task created predefined summary name. In this case, sub-task summary and other values should filled by user only.

like it click on transition, sub-task creation window will come , user can enter their values and then after completing the value , they click on submit.

If you have any idea or reference regarding this please suggest us.

Thanks

I'm doing step-by-step what this video does from 4.53 - 6:26 and my sub-tasks are still not showing up. 

Any suggestions??

Jira doesn't have any function that would allow for a pop-up create screen like that.  You couldn't create the sub-task anyway - there's no issue to be the parent until after you've completed the creation of the main issue.

Best you can do is an Automation (or script, or app that provides a post-function) that can create sub-tasks after the issue is created.

Thank you for your help, but I want user can give subtask name and other values at runtime, so I was looking for some solution.

Hi Jaspreet,

I am not sure that I completely follow what you are trying to do. But here are a couple of things that might help. 

You can use Automation For Jira to auto create a sub-task when the parent moves into a certain status. You can also create a transition screen that can capture information in a field as you transition to the status. I would use a custom field for that. As the value of that custom field changes, then execute the Automation rule to create a sub-task for the sub-task issue type that you captured in the transition screen.

Does that sound like it solves your need?

Thank you so much John, can you put more light on "Create a transition Screen", hope this will help me.
