URGENT: We aim to set up an automation rule for assigning the 32 subtasks depending on dependencies

[Murugesan]

Hello Team,

We need to create 32 subtasks once the parent issue is created.

After creation, we want to assign all 32 subtasks to their respective assignees based on dependencies (completion of other subtasks).

Example:

Subtask 1: T1.1 - Validate I/P File
Subtask 2: T1.2 - Pre-BAP Testing
Subtask 3: T1.3 - Share I/P File with RSP
Subtask 4: O1 - Profile Creation
Action Required:

The first subtask will be automatically assigned to Assignee 1.
The second subtask will be automatically assigned to Assignee 2.
Once the first and second subtasks are completed, the third subtask will be automatically assigned to Assignee 3.
Once the third subtask is completed, the fourth subtask will be automatically assigned to Assignee 4.
This assignment pattern continues through all 32 subtasks, each dependent on the completion of preceding subtasks.

I have attached an Excel file detailing the subtask names, trigger conditions, assignee names, and dependencies. Please review the Excel file and assist accordingly.

If needed, I can explain everything in a video recording and share it with you.

Thank you,
Murugesan

Hi @Murugesan

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

As far as I understand you should create several (at least 2 automations). As an example:

• The first one to create all 32 subtasks and assign the first 2.
  • Set a trigger
  • A condition if necessary
  • Create 32 subtasks with necessary details populated into each subtask
    
    
• Set as listener, basically waiting for the first 2 to be completed and then assign the 3rd one as required. The if condition should follow until all subtasks are set.
  • Set trigger as once subtask 1 and 2 are resolved/closed
  • if/else condition to set further subtasks to different assignees

Please note, it may be a limitation on the iterations (conditions) you may set on each automation. Also consider the amount of automation you can run based on your product plan.

PS. The excel is not attached so we can take a look to advise.
