Automation Rule for creation of issues

[Gunashree Purushotham]

When the sprint is created in a board, the issues must be automatically created in the sprint based on the available options in a dropdown field. For each options 5 issues should be created, those issues must have summary like "option1- story1", "option2- story2", "option3-story3", "option4-story4" and "option5-story5". Configure the automation rule for the above requirement without using branching rule.

Hi @Gunashree Purushotham -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

What have you tried thus far to solve this need?

If you have a rule that is not working as expected, please post the following to provide context for the community to help:

• what type of project is this (e.g., company-managed, team-managed, etc.), 
• an image of your complete automation rule in a single image,
• images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches,
• an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and
• explain what is not working as expected and why you believe that to be the case.

If you have not started a rule yet, I encourage you to try one.  Successfully using automation rules requires learning and experimentation. 

And, please note the Atlassian Community is a place for people to collaborate and learn from each other.  It is not a free labor pool to implement requests upon demand.  Please discuss this with your Jira Site Admin for more information.

To get you started on creating your rule, please refer to these documentation and example sources:

• https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/guides/automation/overview#what-is-automation
• https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/automation-template-library#/rule-list?systemLabelId=all&page=1&pageSize=20&sortKey=name&sortOrder=ASC
• https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/

And, if you do not want your rule to use branching, the only options are to add each issue one-by-one or to use two rules, where one is recursive with an Incoming Webhook Trigger.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hello @Bill Sheboy 

Thank you so much for your help! Your solution to add each issue one-by-one worked perfectly, and I appreciate your time and effort in helping me resolve this.

Thanks,

Hey Gunashree,

Could you please share more details on your requirements? Where is the drop-down field based on which the new issues must be created?

Since the rule is not triggered by the issue containing the drop-down values, it appears that it won't be feasible to populate the summary based on these drop-down values.

Thanks,

Karan
