How do I create a subtask for each "option" on a dropdown list chosen?

[Calvin]

Hi all, I have a dropdown list, for each option chosen I want to create its own subtask. The thing is I don't want it so that if you choose 2 options 2 subtasks get created, then you choose a third option and then 3 subtasks get created making a total of 5.

I use a trigger of "issue field added", but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get those details into an automation.

In particular I tried to use a for-each branch to branch over the {{to}} values but it doesn't seem to run through each one. I'd like the subtask to have the name of the option chosen as well.

Thanks!

try something like this:

Thank you it helped a lot, I was finally able to get the value.to and value.from working which is great, but it was the branch that was throwing me for a loop (hehe). Using just {{value}} however worked perfectly :D, thanks!
