Create sub-tasks based on a label

Dirk November 21, 2025

I want to create a set of sub-tasks using JIRA AUTOMATION based on labels. The task sets have tasks in common.

There are four labels in total, with 3, 4, 16 and 22 sub-tasks respectively.

For LABEL_SET_1, I'd like to create tasks 1, 2, and 3. For LABEL_SET_2, these are tasks 1, 2, 3, and 4. There's also LABEL_SET_3, for which I'd like to create tasks 1 and 4 through 18, for example.
LABEL_SET_4 contains tasks 1 through 23, excluding 5.

Currently, I have a trigger rule for LABEL_SET_1 and LABEL_SET_2 that checks whether a sub-task already exists before creating it.

Before creating the two most comprehensive triggers, I was wondering if it's possible to include all variants in a single trigger rule instead of a specific trigger per label.

Here is how I would approach the solution for this, I would create a main automation that trigger when the label is set. This main automation would cover all 4 labels, and if any of them is set it will call a corresponding automation for each label that creates the tickets. This will help you stay within the 65 component limit in the automation.
