Changing Issue Key to customized number

[Samandeep Singh]

I want to change the keys of Taska and Sub-Tasks to the customizable number.

For example, I have created Tasks and Sub-Tasks for a project.

So, I would like to give the first Task as Issue Key:- "1"  and for 3 subtasks within it as-   "1.1, 1.2, 1.3"    issue Keys.

Please Help

Hello,

You can not do it.

You can create your own custom field and fill the value of the field with a scripting add-on.

How can we do that?

You could use the Power Scripts add-on.

Let s say you create a custom field called "Issue Number"

Then you could add a post function to the create transition with a code like this:

persistent number counter = 1;
if (issueType == "Task") {
    #{Issue Number} = counter;
    counter++;
}
if (issueType == "Sub-task") {
   string subtaskkeys = subtasks(parent);
int subtaskcode = size(subtaskkeys) + 1;
   #{Issue Number} = %parent%.#{Issue Number} + "." + subtaskcode;
}
