Tough one...can automation for Jira create x number of issues based on # of values in a text field?

[Ed Richard]

Without buying an add-in, have a situation where I need to create issues from another based on the number of comma separated values in a text field.... So if there are 3 items in the field, that look like (10.0p4033,10.0p501,10.0p101) somehow recognize that, parse and create 3 issues... is that even remotely possible to think it might be capable of being done? Maybe in the Advanced section somehow?

If you do not want to use an add-on you could do it the following way:

1. Create an external application, which can create issues in JIra using REST API.

2. Create a webhook, which will work on issue creation and notify your external appication, that issue was created. You can find more info on webhooks here:

Then if your external application received an event that an issue had been created, it can parse the required field and create as many issues in Jira as needed.
