Set the status of a sub-task based on a label of the parent task

[AB]

Hi,

is it possible to set the status of a sub-task based on a label of the parent task?

Parent task

Labels: abc def

Action

Create sub-task

Result (standard)

sub-task with status "new"

Result (needed)

sub-task with status "in analysis" based on the label "abc" of the parent task

Thanks in advance for any hint!

This is the sort of script you'll need to be writing to do this - https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/transition-an-issue-using-issue-input-parameters

Hi Nic, thank you for your response. This is not exactly what I need as the status of the sub-task is independent from the status of the parent task.

The idea is - if the parent task has the label abc then upon the creation of the sub-task its status is not new but already in progress.

I'd guess a post-function to verify if parent has label X and if so, do transition to status X, since it appears you're using the built-in dropdown menu to create the sub-task to begin with. Either that or you need automation/listener to do that but a post-function sounds the closest.

Hi Radek - yes. As I'm not a programmer I'm looking for an existing solution to learn from it as the built-in post-functions won't provide a solution here... ;-)
