Here's another solution that doesn't require you to prepend the issue key to the Summary of the original issue and later parse it out. It simply uses an Incoming Webhook Trigger to create the Sub-task level children on the fly. :)
As with the original solution, this one uses two separate Automations:
The first Automation is Manually triggered. It simply Clones the Epic and it's direct children. As it's looping thru the children, it will fire off a Send Web Request Action to Clone the Sub-task level children (if any exist).
NOTE: Make sure the Header Key is set to "X-Automation-Webhook-Token" and the Value is the Secret found in the Trigger of the second Automation. The Web Request URL can be found in the Trigger of the second Automation as well.
The second Automation Rule uses an Incoming Webhook Trigger...
