Hi @Papan Construction , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

Typically with automations, we would ask that you attempt to create the automation and then show us the audit log for where the rule isn't working, rather than asking us to create the rule for you.

I always refer people to the Automation library which Atlassian has made available here https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule-list?systemLabelId=all&page=1&pageSize=20&sortKey=name&sortOrder=ASC where you can usually find a similar rule to modify slightly to meet your use case.

For example, you could modify a rule like this one - https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library/rules#/rule/112177 to try to get something working.

You will need to think about how to differentiate between the different sub-tasks, so, if you only want a new task to be created on the completion of subtask A, you will need to be able to distinguish subtask A from the other subtasks. Also, what, if anything, do you want the task to copy from the subtask?

Please test some things out and come back to us with where you are stuck and we will try to help.

Best wishes

Hello @Papan Construction 

You can achieve the same by using the Automation rules in Jira, follow the below steps

  • Create an automation rule
    • Trigger - Issue transitioned
    •  Configure the trigger to listen for subtask issue types and set the transition to Done
  • Add Condition
    • use issue field condition to filter by subtask or type
  • Add action to create new issue
  • Save and run the rule


We also provide freelancing support for the Atlassian tools, kindly let us know if you need them.

Thanks
