Creating sub tasks whenever a new story is created

[Ashok Chotai]

Hello, 

I have setup Jira automation to create sub tasks whenver a new USer Story is created. I would also like to change the status of these created sub tasks to "Refining" or "New". Can somebody please share an example of how to do this change?

Thanks

Hi @Ashok Chotai and welcome!

A possible solution would be this rule:

But as @Ste Wright already mentioned, we'll be able to provide better advice if you share your current rule with us.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Ashok Chotai 

Could you provide details of your current rule? Either screenshots or an explanation would be great.

This will help us to fit the new requirement into the existing rule, rather than potentially providing misaligned advice :)

Hello Stephen and Michel,

Thanks for your reply. Here is the automation query where I am creating code review and Testing sub tasks for every sory that is new State. I would like to enchance the query by updating the state of these sub tasks. Hope this helps.

@Ashok Chotai You can use the branching rules "Most recently created issue" or "All created issues" to achieve this, as shown on my screenshot above.

Hi Michel,

I do not see the branch option in my Jira view. Could it be due to access limitation?

Thanks

@Ashok Chotai Did you try adding the branch on the first level of the rule like so?

The branch option is only displayed if you add a component on the most outer level of the rule.

If you have the permission to create rules, you have the permission to create branches as well.
