Simple Automation Question

[Christian Delgado]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having difficulties starting this automation, looks like I was only able to create sub-tasks with a defined number but I need the following:

In Project 1:

• When a user creates an Epic and custom field has at least 1 value selected
• A task must be created within that epic.

For example:

Multiple Selection 

* Iaas

* Saas 

* Paas

- User selects Iaas and Saas,  2 tasks will be created under the parent Epic with Title "Iaas' for example according to the selection.

Thank you,

Hi @Christian Delgado 

You can do it with something like this:

• TRIGGER: Issue Created
• CONDITION: Issue Type = Epic
• BRANCH (Advanced): {{issue.YOURCUSTOMFIELD}}
  • ACTION: Create Issue
    (Make sure to set the Epic Link to {{triggerIssue}})

This is what I have so far, this creates a task(s) within the Epic successfully, but it doesn't pull the name of the selection. 

EXAMPLE:

TASK - Instead of TASK I want it the name to be Iaas

TASK - Instead of TASK I want it the name to be Paas

You should be able to apply {{test}} to the summary of the created task to get the current custom field value it is iterating against.

This worked perfectly, thank you so much!
