Automation rule:

[Eric Roetenberg]

If you automatically create a subtask is it then possible that in addition to a fixed description you can also automatically put the ID of the Parrent in it.

Hi @Eric Roetenberg 

You can use smart values to put parent issue id/key to the subtask description. Please check these links:

Hi @Eric Roetenberg 

Would you please post an image of your entire rule?  That may provide context for the community to help.  Thanks!

When using the action to create subtasks, context is important.  For example, if there is no "current issue" at the scope of the rule, the subtask create may fail.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Eric Roetenberg 

is possible to create a rule that changes the issue when resolved to close??

[Bill Sheboy]

Hi @Rafael Vargas 

Yes, that is possible.  If you mean checking the resolution type, try using the "issue updated" trigger and then check the changed fields with an additional condition.

Kind regards,
Bill
