Automation

[Dawn E Chaplin]

I am wondering if this process can be automated or not in JIRA.

Weekly we'd have each team member put in a Story with Timesheet  in the name with a Component.

What we want is for those Stories with Timesheet in the Summary for a set of ~dozen SubTasks be added to that Story based on which Component was selelcted.

Then we want that Story to roll under multiple Epics (about 30 of them).

Through the week we will many add info to those SubTasks.  

At the end of the week we'd like to close out those SubTasks manually

At the end of the week we will manually close out that Story manually.

Is this possible? I believe Subtasks to a Story is fine based on my understanding.  Our issue is then that Story has to roll under many different Epics.   Which is why we do not want to do this manually.  

Thank you.

It is not possible to have a Story be under more than one Epic. It might be possible to use an Issue Link to associate the Story with multiple Epics, although I don't know enough about what you are trying to accomplish to determine if this meets your needs.

Thank you so very much for your expertise and time.

Is it possible that after we automate adding Subtasks to it that there is a way to automate duplication of it under different Epics?

Meaning if I create Timesheet (use this word for trigger) under one Epic for which we have automation set up to add Subtasks to, that we can ask the system to copy that Story and related Subtasks and place under other Epics?

Thank you.
