How to auto-create an issue

[Burcu UZUNOĞLU]

One of our clients wants us to create more than 20 proactive issues last Monday of every month to manage the month end checkups. Because it takes too much time to create this much issue one by one, I need to know if there is any possibility to create the same issue every month automatically.

Thanks

Hi Burcu,

You could use the rest api and a script on another machine to simply call the rest api to create those issue every Monday. More information about the rest api can be found here:

If you had a Server instance of JIRA you could have done it using Jelly Scripts.

Best regards,

Peter

Can jira automation help to auto create issues by specific schedule?

Hi, 

Yes, you can. All you need to do is to select Scheduled from the available triggers. Please keep in mind that this approach has limitations and not provide advanced features like:

• dynamic due date
• putting created issue in the sprint
• creating an issue with manual trigger
• manage such templates might be a nightmare

There are a bunch of ready-to-use apps with template feature. I'm from Appsvio and we have our own solution called Scheduled Templates.

TheScheduler does exactly this!
